Ebes Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I wanted to amp more door speakers along with my 6x9s in the back. I took out my headunit only to find that there is only 1 set of rca jacks which i am using for my amp in the back for my subs. Is there away to amp my interior speakers without using the rca cable from the head unit? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wL<3bass Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) You could a) get a new headunit Run the single set of RCAs (provided they aren't used for only sub output) into a 2 or 4channel amp and then run a set of RCAs from your pass-thru on your 2/4channel amp into your sub amp. c) Do high voltage converters....but they suck imo.

Blackedout Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'd recommend getting a different deck.... But you can look into a LOC (Line output converter) just to make your deck work for you. Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssKicker Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yep an LOC would be the best, I suggest a Scosche I have heard no complaints about it and it's fairly cheap ($15 or so on eBay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmalinich Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'd say that the RCA on your deck isn't just for subwoofer output.. but I may be wrong. And if you amp doesn't have a pass thru, you can use an RCA splitter, but you need to re-set your gains when you use an RCA splitter because it will drop your input voltage.

Nirvalica Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Why not get a crossover? Like a 3-way. This would work. It can take two channel input (pair of RCA's) and have a 3-way output. So you can set the high pass for the front and rear, and the low pass for the sub. EDIT: I'll also boost the voltage of the RCA signals to the amps, so that's another plus. Edited February 18, 2010 by Nirvalica Quote My Youtube Page.

kylecm85 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 just remeber don't split that signal to much because you will make it even weaker than it prob is. So i would just look into getting a new h/u Quote 94 lincoln mark viii h/u: kenwood kvt 614 Excelon comps: alpine type x amps: mtx 1501d mtx 4004 sub:2 DC lv4 12 wiring jl audio 0awg 8 awg sub jl audio 4 awg for mid and highs amp myspace.com/kylecm85 carstereolexington.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
