How is your current system setup as far as rca outputs and inputs?

AstoSoup Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I am facing this same issue with one 4 channel.... I want to have balance/fade capabilities so I will be running two sets of RCA's, one for front, one for rear. If you use Y adapters, you will get input signal from either the front or the rear, not both. As mentioned above, some 4 channels have a 4ch. output, allowing you to connect another 4 channel in line with the first, still maintaining your balance/fade. I guess it would mainly come down to whether or not you want to be able to fade and balance..... Head Unit - Clarion VX709 7" DVD Touchscreen Mid/Highs - Front Doors - RF Prime 6.5" component mids.

alaskanzx5 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Y adapter are fine, a pass through on an amp is nothing more then a built in y adapter. And on most amps the crossover built into the amp does not affect the signal going through the pass through. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

d-nice88 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 My kenwood deck only has one set of outputs and I have a short stinger rca going from hu to eq then the eq has sub outs and 4 channel outs I have the sub outs to my kicker cx1200.1 and my 4 channel outs to my soon to be replaced lanzar mnx 460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he wants to be able to balance and fade though, won't the Y adapter off one set of RCA's kill that capability?

alaskanzx5 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 If he wants to balance and fade he needs a sound processor. At the same time though you can still do it but it wont be as effective. Its all a matter of how its done but I'm not tak g the time to draw up a diagram of a possibility nor do I have a computer to do it with. Basically the y adapter would connect to the eq, 1 male to 2 female. The first pre out to the Ch for highs. Second preout with y adapters. One set off tge y adapters to mid channels other set to mid bass. Third pre out to sub amp. Then adjusting fade or balance will effect it all in the same way. The positioning of the speakers would determine the usefulness of it. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

islandpride684 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong, right now you have a 4 channel running your mids and highs, and a kicker running your 15s, but you want to add another 4 channel to run another sub and 2 mid bass?

The positioning of the speakers would determine the usefulness of it. I think it would all depend on if the amps had a 4 ch. line out. I'm not tackling that diagram either and I'm not looking the amps up, lol. But if the amps do have 4 ch. outputs, two sets of RCA's from the EQ, front and rear, to the 1st 4 channel. Then I believe the line outs are just a pass through from the line in, so would work the same on the second amp. Would give him balance and fade, and take care of the whole problem.
