ccmotox99 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, I just purchased a massive audio v1000.4 (not the greatest 4 channel I know, but it will subvise) and I'm new to the whole four channel to speakers stuff. I know you wire door speakers directly to the amp and you put your rca's from the 4 channel to the head unit, but my question is, my head unit only has 4 total rca's (two for subwoofer output and two for aux or something, how do I hook up the 4 rca's for the 4 channel amp and the 2 rca's for my mono amp to this head unit I have?? Will I have to buy a new head unit....or what..? -playing with different setups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshex Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 4 rcas? How many amps are you running? Also if it comes to it, you can use these. http://www.amazon.com/Tsunami-RCA701-Y1-Female-Connector-6-Inch/dp/B003VRA3PG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1361847000&sr=8-6&keywords=rca+split+stinger 95 Acura Integra - 5-speedNFG Pioneer FH-X700BT(2) Rockford Fosgate 12" P3AQ1200dRockford Fosgate P1652-S 6.5" components Rockford Fosgate P1572 5x7"Rockford Fosgate R400.4 95 Integra Build Here93 EJ2 Build Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmotox99 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 2 amps. Four channel amps have rear and front rcas ( 2 sets of rcas for just the four channel ) and I'll be running my mono amp. Just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do this lol -playing with different setups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshex Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well you can use the Y-connectors or if the 4-channel amp has a "line out" option, then you can just run it from line out to the mono and you should be golden. 95 Acura Integra - 5-speedNFG Pioneer FH-X700BT(2) Rockford Fosgate 12" P3AQ1200dRockford Fosgate P1652-S 6.5" components Rockford Fosgate P1572 5x7"Rockford Fosgate R400.4 95 Integra Build Here93 EJ2 Build Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.A.G. Audio Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Get an eq. I only had one set of pre outs on my hu. I set the pre out to rear threw the eq in and it gives you a sub channel and front and rear speaker channels. And it has a bass knob on it and let's you fine tune your system. 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...

Skullz Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Y-Connectors will be the quickest and least expensive route to take. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.A.G. Audio Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yes but my friend has y connectors running from the back of the hu to the speaker rca's from the stock amp. Sounds like junk compared to when I had my speakers right off of hu power. I think it takes some of the frequency or something out of it. But if your looking for a cheaper way out by all means go with the y connectors. But the eq is definitely 50 bucks well spent. 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...

T.A.G. Audio Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Make sure to pick up a couple extra sets of rca's if you don't already have them. Mine were awful to run because I put my eq in the armrest and I had to remove the whole thing and run the wires all under the carpet that I would barely let me lift up. But if your just putting it under the hu or something like that you should be fine. 03 Ford f150 2 Sa8 v2s Ap 1800d...
