The head unit also has RCA output cables. Do I still need to wire the subwoofer into the head units speaker wires? One of the RCA outputs is blue, and it says that the blue RCA is for subwoofer output. I dont get it. Is the red and black RCA that I bought do both? And there is no hole for a blue subwoofer RCA on my amp. Just left and right input RCA's. My stock speakers suck, do I need to run them through my amp also?
VERY CONFUSED....................HELP!!!!!!!!
In response to Electhrolite, Its is 580 Watts, MOSFET Power Fupply, 2/1 channel amp. $150 Jensen Head Unit
There are no RCA connections on the AMP. Its a 2 12" in a box.
Assuming the 500 w are rms(root mean square), you need a 4 gauge wire to power the amp with an in line fuse no more than 6 inches from the battery. for the remote ground wire you can use a 12 gauge. Using a smaller wire would produce noise, lack of power to the amp, overheating, etc.
The blue RCA is used only for sub woofer (one sub), The left and right RCA(red and black) are for the front and rear speakers. If you have only one sub connect this blue RCA to the input channel of your selection and the speaker wire of the sub to the same channel in the output speaker terminal. How many amps do you have one for all speaker? how many channels? or 2 amps one for the speakers and one for the subs?
What's the exact model of the amp so i can check it out? Is the amp a built-in amp in the subwoofer enclosure? does the amp have a high level speaker input???
