Hu, Eq And 2 Amps?

[Guest clifford3030]

Alright my head has three outputs(front, rear, subs) and i have an EQ with 1 in and out and 2 amps(speakers/sub).... now how do i run the rca cables???

Thanks

You don't really need an EQ for your subs so just choose which set of speakers you want to use the EQ for & just install it In-line between your HU & amp. You will most likely need another EQ like the one you have.

um ya i got the kicker 30 band one and i have 2 amps, one for both sets of comps and one for subs, now why would i need another EQ if you say i don't need one for the subs

you dont need another one. use the sub output of your head to your sub amp. run rcas from your head unit to your eq and use splitters or y cables from the output of your head to your component amps.

OK again i have a 4 channel amp that runs ALL my comps, i'm just going to get a Y splitter and run the EQ to both my amps and see what happens.

If you have an equalizer for it, choose which you want the equalizer for, the Subs for the Components..

Then Wire like this..

HU -----> RCA----> Y-Split

THEN... from Y-Split run like this...

Y----RCA---->EQ-----Comp Amp

Y----RCA---->Sub Amp

...So put the EQ on the amp that is powering your Components.. the subs dont really need the EQ .. at least not as much as the compnents would..

depending on the voltage of your rcas, sometimes it helps to put them on an eq. i have mine on one only because the output of my radio is only 2v. the eq puts out 8v, so now i dont have to turn my amp up as much. plus it also helps with fine tuning.

the voltage bump is another reason i got the EQ. I think i will run it to both and see how that does first. Thanks
