I have a question that has been festering for days.
If you have a HU with one amp pre-out, how would you set the gains if you used an RCA splitter to connect a second amp?
If you had a 3v pre-out and you had the gain set at half, would you set two amps at a quarter, or could you set them both at half still?
Please help.

Andrew I do not beleive spliting it will half the voltage. Should still be the same. So in reality the gain should still be set the same.

Glass care to clarify for us?

voltage stays the same. current is split so signal strength won't be as strong.

ideally you don't use Y splitters anyway though. You'd use an electronic crossoverwhich incorporates a line driver to keep the signal strength where it should be when you have one pair of pre-outs and want to run to four or six amp channels.

Yep used to live on king st. Just west of the old git and go.

Streets huh? I have delt with them a little, mainly for wires, and stuff. I normally deal with Car Toys, I have been friends with all of them so long they take really good care of me. Thats basically were I got all of the stuff I installed for myself and friends over the years.

Its kinda funny. I got offered a job by every car stereo install place in Tulsa. Then Jeff finally offers me a job there, and its to late. I just signed up to join the Air Force. Doh!!!
