Bass4Lyfe Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Okay ... in a nutshell here is my question. For my new build I'm running 1/0 to the trunk from the starter battery, which goes to a distro block. This distro block will put out 2 runs of 4 gauge - one for M&H amp one for the Sub amp. Grounding each will be easy - find a place in the trunk. Remote and RCA are already ran (one of each) so I'm pretty sure I can split the Remote to both amps - but do I have to run a 2cd pair of RCA's from the HU or can those be split and still carry the same signal strength? Thanks ... I realize this is stupid question but I'm still relatively new to all this Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescorpio1 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 does your mids and highs amp have a pass through pre out? If so, that would be the way I would go, but I don't see why you could not just Y the rca's off to each amp, as long as the amps have internal crossovers to seperate the frequencies amplified. I could be wrong about the Y to both amps, so, if I am wrong, please someone send him in the right direction. Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!!

Bass4Lyfe Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I guess that's the best option - Thanks Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass4Lyfe Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 No you're right .. I do ... at least I"m pretty sure I do .. Alpine IVA-D106 is a pretty good HU i'm guessing it does i know what to do now, i think, thanks guys Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aseanj52 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I usually try to stay away from splitting the signal for RCAs. i always figured it would half the voltage in them. But i finally had to when I wanted to run a 2 channel and a 4 channel amp. So i split them right before the 4 channel amp. Which didn't need any fading because it is pushing my 4 Pioneer Premier REV 6x9's in a row in the back. Didn't make to much of a difference.
