Alright vamp I see you have another pointless person replying who won't give
you a straight answer over 4 messages.

At the moment mate for cheapness sake i just wired both my RCA outputs (L +
R) into 2 splitters then into the amp to pump the sound to Front and Rear
channels (2 6 x 9s (Front 1ch + 2ch) and a bridged sub (Rear 3ch + 4ch)).
This is only because im using a cheapo head unit with a high to low
convertor (only gives 2 RCA out).

Are you sure you've wired up the sub to the amp right? Youll no doubt need
an amp (just in case you were wiring from head unit straight to the driver).
Some subs have an inbuilt amp though.

When you say it doesn't work what happens exactly?

Matt

for a friend really. mate has a new head unit with a sub
out
but
the
head
unit sub out is a single
RCA but his sub is a double? he tried a splitter but that
didn't
work,
is
there a special way to
wire it up?

Sounds like the blind leading the blind, take the car to a
specialist or
wait for some other to answer your post, you wouldn't like
my
real
reply....



bit harsh mate, i managed to hard wire his wires to an ISO
connector
but i
don't mess with amps,
well not yet

exspect more stupid questions i'm affraid

The fire service can be called free by dialling 999 or 112,
check
the
car is
insured for fire damage.



funny ****er aint you but i see no where on the newsgroup where it
says no
newbies.

There is nothing wrong with being a newbie at all, but from what you
typed
earlier, both you and your friend should not indulge in diy when it
comes to
ICE, quit the arguing as anyone coming to view the thread will only
join an
argument and your original issue will not get resolved, note i have
answered
your originalquery by suggesting you take the vehicle to someone
that
knows
what they are doing.



it's not that i'm completely clueless, i'm very unlikly to wire an amp
up
without an inline fuse for
example and i wired the ISO via a pin out map i found just when it
came to
the sub it throw me off a
bit.

anyway arguments aside is there a way to wire this to the head unit?

Yes.




you mean if i use a Y cable or just plug 1 RCA in it'll work

thanks

and i got that in another non car audio newsgroup!

in built amp i think and when plugged in using a splitter he gets nothing, i'm just going by what my
mate has told me, haven't been to see it yet.

thanks for the pointers

How's he supposed to learn then? I wired mine up mainly on guess work. It
seems to me that if you knew what do you, you'd have been helpful and told
him, not just been a prick and started arguing for no reason.

How many amps is he using to run the subs , and is it 2 drivers in a single
cabinet with 1 or 2 sets of speaker terminals?

Top marks Dr Zoiderg, it's amazing how many folks can give an answer without
getting the full facts 1st.

From the mistakes of others.

I wired mine up mainly on guess work.

Can you clarify to the OP what may have happened if you guessed incorrectly?

It
seems to me that if you knew what do you, you'd have been helpful and told
him,

If you look at the original question then you would know there is not enough
info to get a full answer, is it a single mono sub or single pair output?
Double sub? what is that exactly? a pair of speakers in a box wired
seperately or what? etc etc.

not just been a prick and started arguing for no reason.

I answered his question you did not, some of you jerk stains expect! an
answer and yet are in no position to offer anything useful.
If you were cool, then you would answer his question for him then start
trying to throw insults, after all you guessed your way through a solution.

exactly dan exactly

Point proven! There is not enough info to give the answer you want to hear,
but now that you have allowed the thread to go off topic , lets see who will
offer you you a safe and accurate solution from the original info that you
provided.
Good Luck
xx

If you had any sense of being normal youd say post more info please instead
of being a dick.

Now in this 'free speech ' state you are telling me what I should and should
not say, why don't YOU answer his question?

As posted before too much or too little info will not get anyone help will
it?
