DayV914 Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 The single din headunit that I have only has 1 set of rca outputs for L & R and the other set it has are specifically for subs. Would it be possible to use the rca output for subs as another channel for midrange speakers instead. I would like to see if this is possible instead of having to use a y splitter to convert the 2 channels into 4 rca's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Depends if the head unit has a LPF on the sub output If not, you can make it work. But it might get goofy when tuning the head unit. Sub level would affect your mids. EQ settings might only apply to one of the RCA outs. Ideally, get a different head unit that better suits your needs? I'm not sure what your financial situation is, but that unit looks to be a pretty entry level one from ~4 years ago. Should be able to pick up a unit with 4 channel+sub preouts for under 150. Maybe ideally, one with 4v preouts too. Barring that, there's nothing inherently wrong with a splitter. Though if the output voltage is weak, you might have more difficulty setting gains - e.g. amp gain is up all the way and it's still not where it needs to be. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I just google that head unit, it's a subout (lowpass output only) and rear out. Not much you can do with that one. Agree with @SnowDrifter, no harm in using a splitter though. It's a 2V pre out, you'd have to be running quite a few amps before a splitter would be an issue.

I am using this head unit for a project I am creating. It's not going in a car at all btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
