stereo help :look:

[grouchy01]

need some help from the stereo guys in here :look:

im trying to run 2 amps in my truck (1 for the sub and 1 for the mids/highs)

will i need a stereo with two preamp outputs or whatever they are called?

in my old set up i bridged two amps together and everytime i would add bass to my sub it would add it to my mids and highs.

im trying to run a amp for my mids and highs because they sound kinda raspy around 30 (stereo goes up to 50. jvc kdr210)



my stereo has a sub control. will it add bass to the sub or will it just work the same as a bass knob? but even if i lower the bass on my speakers it still sounds like shit so i think i will need another amp :(


:cheers:

That's a spiffy lookin Pioneer head unit there! Didn't read thru the specs, but it sure is purdy! :nod:

not sure what's going on here, but you will want to have seperate rca cables ran for each amp, crossovers wont do what you want.


the way my `97 is wired is like this -
Pioneer avic f700bt double din-
front RCA out to Kenwood 75w x 2 amp, running my front JL 6.5" components with the mids in the doors, tweaters in mach460 pods, and crossovers in each door.

subwoofer RCA out to MTX class D mono sub amp, I forget the specs, running my single 10" Boston sub in the trunk

The amps share a common 4awg +12v power lead from the power dist box under the hood, going to a gold power distro box mounted to the drivers side rear wheel well

The amps are grounded with a common 4awg lead to the rear seat belt clip bolts under the rear seat, going to a gold power distro box mounted to the drivers side rear wheel well


Really good SQ IMO.



in my truck I have the same head unit, going to a pioneer 100w x 4 amp powering phoenix gold 5x7 coaxials in the rear doors, I need to install my phoenix gold 6.5" component setup in the front doors still but I haven't decided on how to mount the tweeters yet...then I'll be building a box for a sub either inside the rear center console or in the wall behind the rear seats.

so i would need a stereo with two rca outputs right?

i want to run a amp for my speakers and a amp for my sub.

the problem i dont want is that everytime i add bass to my sub it wont add it to my speakers.

you need a headunit with separate RCA outs with a dedicated subwoofer output channel.

my pioneer headunit has a high pass filter that eliminates bass below an adjustable cutoff that's sent to the speakers, and a low pass filter that eliminates highs above an adjustable cutoff that's sent to the sub

the amps I have also have the same hpf/lpf built into them with an adjustable knob as well.

got my memphis sub and kenwood kac-x520 ready to be installed. :partay: just looking for a headunit now.
