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?

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!

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

Your mate would appear to be doing something wrong then. Normally with a
single sub out lead running to an amp (be it separate or built into sub) one
would either use a Y splitter to feed both L+R RCA's on the amp, or on more
upmarket amps you would plug your single lead into the L terminal and have
a switch which sums the signal from the L RCA and adds it to the R and works
that way.

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.
