teamace24 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I usually hook these up along with an eq easily but on a setup im doing for a person, they only want the epicenter along with a bass amp and a voice highs amp. Question is since the headunit has two pairs of rca outputs one is front and the other is subwoofer, do i 1)Split the front rca outputs using y adapters one going to the 4 channel(split there for the 2 component sets as well) and the other one going to the epicenter then from there the bass amp or.... 2)take the front output rca all the way to the 4 channel and split there for the pair of components, and take the sub rca outputs and send that to the epicenter and from there the bass amp or........ 3) send the front rca outputs directly to the epicenter then from the epicenter split the rcas with the y and send a pair to each the bass amp and the 4 channel with the 4 channel also being split again for all channels?

Noel989 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Since you have 2 sets of rcas why not one set directly to the epicenter? I though epicenter were only for bass amps? If true Why are you connecting it to the 4 channel to? And split the other set Sorry if I misread your options Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanz Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Take it from the he. Stereos subs output and run it to the epicenter and then to the bass amp That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

teamace24 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The epicenter according to the manual needs to take in a full range signal, i know it could work without one but i rather give it a full range signal. Also the headunit has two pairs of rca outputs one is front but the other is actually rear/subwoofer switchable. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamace24 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I guess option 2 is eliminated because the epicenter is only getting the subwoofer output from the headunit and not a full range, But what if i make that a rear outout instead of a subwoofer output because its "switchable rear/subwoofer" according to the manual of the headunit. I know im sure im confusing myself but i just want to see what would be the logical way. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioControlMT Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hello teamace24 - You are correct, The Epicenter is designed to take full range signal. Option 1 or 3 would work fine for you. I am guessing you are taking this approach to maintain front/rear fade. Alternatively, I believe your Cerwin amp can take 2 channels in? You could then use fronts from your HU to the Cerwin amp and rears (changed to rears from subs) to the Epicenter and on to your bass amp. Always welcome to call us if you have any questions along the way. AudioControl (425) 775-8461 22410 70th Ave West Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 USA P. (425) 775-8461 F.

teamace24 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 If i use option 3 which sends the epicenter signal to the 4 channel, will the highs now be affected by the epicenter when i turn it up? Or will it only control the sub somehow. 1st Setup(SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 Audioque SDC2.5 15 subs8.7 cubes at 37hz build DONEAudioque 1200d (Audioque 1200d Sold, similar performance to my ap1500)Diamond Audio Hex 6.5 Mids n TweetsCerwin Vega Exl 400 4 channel Bridged(also have MTX 4004 not being used)1 Run of power Knu Fleks 4 Gauge2 Cheap stock Battery setup2nd Setup (SOLD):2007 GMC YukonPioneer Avic F90bt Audiocontrol Epicenter2 15 Kicker cvx (maybe two SA 15 in future)7 cubes net tuned at 34hzAlphasonik Old school 1600rms (ap 1500d sold GREAT Budget amp)JBL 6.5 Power Series Components, Infinity Kappa 6.5 3 ways, and 2 Kicker KS Tweets (LOUD)Cerwin vega exl4001 run knu Fleks OFC 0 gaugeBig 3 done1 Odyssey 1500, 1 optima yellow top d31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will it only control the sub somehow. The Epicenter will send full range to the subs - the sub amps will have a lowpass filter, I assume. The Epicenter is not affecting the highs; it is adding subharmonic content based on the full range content it is fed. 22410 70th Ave West Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043 USA P. (425) 775-8461 F.
