I have 2 amps, one for the 2 12" dual core subs, and the other for all the other interior audio. I control the power on of both amps using the M2-ATX power remote. The amps are then connected via regular red/white RCA cables to the external soundcard (i use a couple spliters) , i can take a closer pick for you.

I ran all the proper gauge wire based on the amps/power requirements for each device. I use a power distribution block (which you can see in the picture moutned to the side of the sub box). The dist block goes all the way to battery (Optima).

I have zero static, alternator sound. I run all my devices off the USB hubs, buried under the sub box....all my wires are buried under it (GPS, Sirius, bluetooth, cameras...etc)

The SB External-24 bit has some killer configuration options in its software that allow fine tuning of the audio (like bass booster and such). I totally recommend it.

The way I have the PC and one of the amps mounted I can fold my seats up perfectly.

I have the Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro and the Audigy 2 NX, will they work for the audio? I know they are better than the SB External Live-24 bit, but I just wanted to make sure.
