Spazy808 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 So I bought the taramps smart 3 and didn’t know till just yesterday that the two rcas on the amp are labeled as “red” input and “white” output. So my question is can I run a Y splitter from my bass knob to the red input and be fine. I attached pics of what ima be using. Or do I just plug in the rcas like normal. I’ve never seen a amp with just one input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshdashef Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 That amp is a monoblock amp, so it has only one channel. You really only need one RCA to get signal to it, but you can just run a pair of RCAs to it and use a y splitter (2 female into 1 male) to plug into that red input on the amp. Do not plug in both rcas into the input and output.

1point21gigawatts Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 One rca will work but it weakens the signal and the bass doesn’t hit as hard. I just tested that on my saz3500d. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have the two rcas from the head unit going to the bass knob, y splitter going out of the bass knob to one rca going to the amp and it works great as others said. I was worried as well when I connected it but no problems so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the same amp what is your opinion on it do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
