jrowdon Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'm planning on fitting 6 10" subs in my car (each at 4Ω) wired up to 3 2-channel amps (also each at 4Ω). My head unit only has 1 pair of RCA outlet. So how on earth do I split the RCA and how do I wire this stuff up? Quote Where I come from we have a saying: Bass moet je niet horen, die moet je voelen. It Means: You shouldn't hear bass, you should feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carroot1 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) 6 10s? how lol but anyway you would want monoblock amps much more efficient at producing bass. Edited March 10, 2011 by Carroot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachJoshua Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 You have indeed exposed your newbieness. If you have to ask something like this then putting 6 10's in a car is probably not a good starting point. Do you have the subs? Do you have the amps? If you're going to do something like that, you should probably invest in a head unit with an actual subwoofer channel.

Monoblock amps are much better at producing bass? I call complete bullshit.

Torres Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 he may have been referring to more efficient, but efficiency does not mean better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrowdon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 On my last build I had 4 12" subs hooked up to a 4-channel amp. Sounded great, felt even better! (I loved all the complaints from the neighbors.) That was in my last car. Now I have a smaller car with less build space. I think I got the wiring covered, just cracking my head about splitting the RCA... Quote Where I come from we have a saying: Bass moet je niet horen, die moet je voelen.

If you're going to do something like that, you should probably invest in a head unit with an actual subwoofer channel. Subs and amps are on the way, HU is an old one I had lying around. Finding a decent HU with a sub channel is pretty hard here in Belgium. I have to go to Germany half the time... About using 10"... Yeah, I'm trying to make something that looks, sounds and feels great and I've never used 10" subs. I custom make cases for friends and i'm always trying new stuff.

Using a ten inch sub is not what I'm referring to. Why would you use 6 10 inch subs? I'm surprised no one else has anything to say here...
