Powering another amplifier

[Per Lindgren]

What matters is not how many channels these amps are, but how much power they
need. Add up the fuse sizes on the two amps you got, and go from there.

I am working on a sound system myself these days. I got a lot of stuff sitting
here, so I figured I might as well put it into use. I had 6 meters of 2 guage
wire so this is now stretched from the battery to the trunk. The two amps I
are rated at 20 + 40 ampere so the wire is a bit overkill. It's better to have
too big than too small wire though!
