Amp questions

[TigerTony]

My uncle gave me a 4 Channel PA amp for my small side project i'm doing and I noticed it has two different RCA's for channels 1/2 and 3/4

Do they make RCA's that would make all 4 into 2? I plan on playing music straight from my Ipod or anything with a 3.5mm aux by using something like this to avoid having to use a stereo.

This is going in a cooler too. Another question.. How would I go as to Ground for the amp inside of the cooler? Since the battery is going to be a 12v batt Would i just hook it up to the neg?

Not really sure what you mean on the RCA question since the 4 channel amp needs an input for each channel but about grounding to the bat neg is the best ground possible so that would be a good place to ground to

Actually I have heard that grounding to the alt case is a slightly better ground but how many of those do you have in a cooler? Lol

Alright. Well With the RCA to Aux input I was seeing if there were RCA's that go both channels into 1.

Would it work if i got two of those RCA to Aux Chords for each set of RCA's and then used something like this

To put both channels together to play them out since i'm not using a HU?

Y-splitters.

Check to see if ur amp has a 2channel/4channel switch. Usually most of the 4ch have them. If it does just switch it to the 2ch side and all four channels will play. you only have to run one set of rcas to accomplish this.

You ninjad me while I was replying. well if you do what I Said and get those splitters it will work.

That would work, but if it's a long enough run, it'd be easier to just use a regular aux to RCA converter, then run an RCA cable, and use y-splitters from there.

y spiltter works, did that for my kicker

[TigerTony]

I'm not seeing a switch for that, But what Lztybrn said sounds pretty good.

Any Y-splitter should work?

What amp is it?

just use two channels, if the speakers are 4ohms thell see 8ohms, you can use splitters as said aswell, youll need 4, (2x) 2 male 1 female (1x) 2 female 1 male, then the 2 male to aux, each of the two splitters will go into its own set of channels, then the aux will go onto the end of that
