Right. I am running two Amp's in my car. They require 4 pairs of RCA leads, which means my headunit needed 4 pairs of RCA outputs. But, the headunit i bought only had two pairs of outputs (2 red and 2 white RCA's on the back of the unit). Still with me?
So, i bought two pairs of RCA leads, plugged them into the back of the headunit (as you would), and sent the other ends to my amp's, obviously. So, this covered 2 of the 4 outputs on my amp's.
I then proceeded to purchase 4 pairs of 1 female to 2 male splitters, therefore splitting 2 RCA connectors into 4. This then 'filled' all the required outputs on my amp's and they are all running fine and dandy to this day (touchwood).
Thing is this. My poor old headunit is dying a slow and painful death. I tortured it (a few pretty sparks here and there
) when installing it in my hamfisted (and in-experienced) ways several years ago, and it's given up the ghost. I have seen a nice Kenwood unit (dead simple, non-flashy and cheap-and has to be a Kenwood unit because i forked out £40 for an iPod adaptor for it before Christmas), but (you knew it was coming!).....it only has ONE pair of RCA outputs (1 Red and 1 White RCA output). Now, the question i have is this:I know i can buy the splitters, i've seen the ones i would need-but can i split the output's on the back of the headunit, like i did when splitting the RCA cables to my amp's? I need split each of the outputs on the unit in two to make up for the one i would lose.
I know some RCA output's can be dedicated to the front and rear speakers, but i had mine running opposite way round (didn't realise for over a year!) and it didn't seem to make a sh*t's worth of difference.
I really hope that made some kind of sense...if anybody can shed any light, i might give you a kiss
...no, i'll just really appreciate it!Here's hoping!
