KDC-MP142 RCA-Preout help


Recommended Posts

heres the easiest way. and its free. if your amp has rca OUTPUTS, just hook up the headunit preout to the amp's Front input, then take a short run of rca's and plug them into the rca outputs on the amp then plug the other end into the Rear input on the amp.

Bingo! haha thanks i didnt know if that would work.... and will it work nicely? wont mess anything up? i think im going to still get the EQ just because lol

It wont mess anything up. The output is just a reproduced signal that is going into the input of the amp. So whatever sound enters the amps input rca terminals, will be sent out the same way on the output rca terminals. There will not be any equalization differences in the output since it is "pass through" or just sends the original signal to the next amp.

I only have a subwoofer pre out.? i dont get it

for your headunit, and like 8 0% of all other kenwoods, you can switch it from Rear (full pass) to Subwoofer (low pass). put it to Rear and you're set (if running a highs amp)

Wait wait wait what!?! so I have a High pass filter?! or only if i switch it and if i switch it it turns off the sub right?

You can use an eq if you wanted to, its up to you. Honestly if you set the amps settings right you wouldnt need one too much to run your mids-high and sub amps. Just make sure the highpass and lowpass are set correctly on the amps and you will be perfect.

For eq i meant an external equalizer. If your amps have highpass, lowpass, and subsonic you will be just fine with them and running them off the input/output of the amp. Theres no need for anything fancy like a 3sixty or something for a system like yours unless you really felt like dishing out that kind of money. Personally i wouldnt, your radio will be fine with how you have it, just set the amps properly.
