Clocksta Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Well, i just bought this new head unit, and well, it doesnt have 3 pairs of preouts, only 2, front and rear. is it possible to hook up a sub amp still?? if so, how? and what would i lose? Quote
banginAltima Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Run the sub amp off of the rear. Quote If you build it, db's will come...

Clocksta Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Posted December 17, 2008 ok but then i can't run an amp for my rears then? Quote
banginAltima Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Okay then, buy some RCA Y's and split the rear signal. Quote If you build it, db's will come...

Clocksta Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Posted December 18, 2008 will that effect the strength of the signal to each amp? Quote
banginAltima Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 will that effect the strength of the signal to each amp? Depends on your HU output voltage, I would guess no. A lot of people run multiple amps off of the same RCA out put. Quote If you build it, db's will come... NSPL World Record Holder Trunk 0-1800 watts---147.9 with 1722 clamped watts @ 40Hz(9-20-09).

ChevyBoy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 just run your rear output to the rear amp, and then use the sub preouts on the amp Quote

Guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 my headunit has 2 pre-outs, one for the Front, and then one for the Rear. it has a feature where you can switch the Rear pre-out to work as a subwoofer preout or a regular preout. Quote
