Never ending......$$$

i'm currently running an alpine pdx-5 in my Tacoma. How hard would it be to add another amp to my set up? What would be needed? How many more wires would I have to run?

Looking at the possibly of running two amp so I can run more power to the sub.

Easy. Check the gauge of your power wire running your pdx-5. If it has enough capacity for the increased load your gold. If not you will probably have to run a thicker power wire.
not sure why u want to add another amp tho..

A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.

You can run a dist block too to split the power wire.
