Sexyhex Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Okay SMD forums, I have an issue. I installed a system into my wife's convertible mustang. (The Mach 460 system Ford puts in blows...it's a bitch to get out. =/ ) Anyways, the headunit we got her only has a single set of RCA outputs, meaning two plugs total. My issue is I got her a 5 channel amp. I thought about an RCA splitter but that still leaves my two holes not filled... I know everything is wired correctly, the amp turns on, when I move the RCAs around, I get music out of the front set and rear set of speakers, though oddly enough I don't get any kind of bass...not sure on that one. Any help would be appreciated. If this has been covered elsewhere, I apologize. If I need to give up equipment specifics, that's not an issue either. '03 Ford Explorer XLT 24s Dem 24s?

Any help would be appreciated. If this has been covered elsewhere, I apologize. If I need to give up equipment specifics, that's not an issue either. I would either 1. get a new source with 3 sets of rcas out 2. or the cheaper option is to run a splitter to the two channels of mids and highs off the 5 channel then run a high low converter off one of the sets of speaker wires to the low channel of the amp working Contact us for the best quality cables and accessories with the fastest shipping in the industry EMAIL: [email protected]<script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script> LIKE US ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/SkyHighCarAudio ADD ME ON FB: https://www.facebook.com/jon.rabe.1 MONSTER SKY HIGH/DC GMC: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/127057-sky-high-monster-gmc-walk-through-12-lvl-5-15s-6-9ks-trim-panels-and-wiring-p-90/

Skullz Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Agree also on the EQ since you get front/rear and sub output, even if you keep everything flat you can control fader and sub level from it. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
Sexyhex Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Posted August 16, 2011 The amp is a JL audio HD900/5 and the head unit is an Alpine CDE-1245XM. Ill check out the crossovers when I get home from work. '03 Ford Explorer XLT 24s Dem 24s? Nah nigga dem 10s - Earthman
Sexyhex Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Posted August 16, 2011 Hey N8 is this what you were talking about? http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Audio-Sound-Processor/CLARION-EQS746-7-BAND-CAR-EQUALIZER-EQ-7-VOLT-PRE-AMPS/EQS746.aspx If it is I assume main in from the headunit and the sub,front, and rear to their perspective places to the amp and then tune? That sound about right? '03 Ford Explorer XLT 24s Dem 24s? Nah nigga dem 10s - Earthman
