    I currently have 2 Boston GT amps running in my truck GT22 and GT 40. How would I go about hooking up a thrid amp GT22?? Do I need another battery or isolator? Right now my amps are hooked together can you hook 3 up this way? What is the best way period???

    doesn't matter how you do it so long is there isn't any unnecessary resistance in the power going to the amps. How big is your alternator? also what battery do you have? what you'll need is dependent on the current draw of the amps.

    ??

    I still have the original F150 battery and altenator. I will have to check on the wire gauge I used. Im running a distribution block now, I will need to buy one for 3 amps though. I just wondered if I could run the three off the same single power and ground wire??

    you can if your electrical system is up to par. I would suggest you look into the Big 3 first of all.
