I already have 2 10s and 1 500w (rms) amp running to them. I am about to get 2 15s and want to run another amp just like it to each speaker. How hard would it be to hook up the wires and what would I need to do. I already have a power distribution block. and am using 9 gauge ground cable, 9 gauge power cable, and 5 guage power cable. My distribution block is a 4-8 gauge block.

you should be looking at larger power wire like a 0 or 2 gauge to run to the back and matching distro. i would also look at doing 4-8 gauge for the amps from the distro block, but that is just me i'm sure someone else will have a different opinion, cause we are all allowed too.

You want to run 2 10's and 2 15's? :thumbsdow bad idea it will sound like ass. run one or the other stick to one size of subs, get 2 more 10's, same model and another amp that is the same as what you got that way the sound will be consistant.

no im going to replace the 2 10s with 2 15s. The subs I have right now are Audiobahn ABP10T (2 10s in a bandpass box) and the amp is a Dub Mag Audio DUB2502 (its made by audiobahn).
