Powering multiple amps
What's the preferred method for powering multiple amps? I'm running out of room at the battery terminal and want to add another amp. Is there some sort of distribution block that will work?

How many amps are we talking John? If it's just an additional amp you wouldn't need a distribution block.

What do you have hooked up to that thing ?? I run both amps at 4 gauge into a distro block, and then to the battery from there....

I'm considering two PBR 300x2 and a bag mount amp for speaker lids. I also have a positive lead for led lighting.

I run a pair of distro blocks in my fairing, one for ground and one for power.

I got a buddy running two JL 600/4 amps so I think 4 PBRs might be ok
