Two Monoblocks, one pair of RCAs. What do ya'll use?

[Joshdashef]

What do you guys use to hook up multiple monoblock amps

 

I've seen the cockboxes and they look great, except the price. Would rather use something more simple like a splitter but I am a little confused on how you are meant to hook up two amps. Is one splitter enough for the two amps?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

A splitter on each output plug of the rca wire

SPLIT IT UP AND GET IT IN

Yes 2 splitters as 1.21 said, or you use the pass through option most good mono blocks offer 

 

But when you split, and go to second amp setup. Each amp will now get half of the signal voltage as the single amp did when you had one, so gains will need reset

Voltage should change minimally, it’s a parallel circuit. I doubt gains need to be adjusted.

That what I was thinking... so much information out there I didn't know what to trust. I'm going to eventually post what my dmm tells me the voltage is before and after a pass through or splitters. Thanks guys!

Thanks I actually got lucky. SHCA has a 25% off RCAs right now. Got two splitters for 12 bucks shipped. Code is RCA_25 but they say its only got 5 codes...

Voltage/signal wouldn’t change at all.... I run splitters off a pair of RCAs to my 2 SCV7500s.... left and right both were 4 volts each and after splitter it was 2 lefts and 2 rights still at 4 volts

Voltage won’t change at all.... it would be the same as if you had your main power wire running to a dual distribution block....it wouldnt be 14volts in with 2 7volt outs
