There is a pretty nice deal on subs an amp and a box. How would i go about wiring this, or do i need a new HU? Amp currently installed is a JBL P80.4 99 CSVT Silver Frost (soon to change)

If this is true the new amp should have a built in set of RCA outputs in order for you to connect secondary amps with. If so you can easlily run one set of cables to each amp from your HU and run the third set of cables from the new amp output to the other JBL amp input. Everything should work as normal after that.

Okay now that I have said it, its a completely different situation! SOrry about that! Steve Steven. L. Benthal Jr. 98 Mystique: Meshed Grille & Pioneer Sound System
