84_S12 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 oh right so using those things would be better than using one rca ? how many do i need just the one ? Yeah if you have a 4 channel heady and you want to run 4 speakers from a 4 channel amp then buy 2 so you can connect front L&R and rear L&R. Make sense? You'll be fine to run your components off your 500W amp, so long as you set it up right I'm sure it will sound sweet and live long time As I said in the edited version of my previous post, this will leave your heady's RCA outputs free for addition of a sub and amp package without needing to change your heady should you choose to add some thump down the line Chur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildPlumDx Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 yup that makes sense, could i not run 4 speakers off one rca ? coz i never intend to hook up a sub as i dont have the room for one thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildPlumDx Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 ah ok so those things hook up to the headunits speaker channels and then go to the amp ? coz if you have one rca and then use a splitter i couldnt work out how you can make a mono channel into stereo basically ? i'm guessiong its ok for subs but not speakers ?

WildPlumDx Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 also another question, are the speaker cables that you get given with speakers sweet to use if you run an amp? or should you upgrade to heavier ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84_S12 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 that why i thought it only had one, an auction on trademe said one rca preout which now i guess means one pair ? anyway there a red one and a white one thats it two holes It has one PAIR of RCA preouts, should you wanna run 4 channels all through the amp you'll need 2 pair as splitters reduce the signal level. It's up to you obviously. What amp are you hoping to use (Model Number) If it's a good 4 channel amp it may even output the signal from your single pair of preouts to all 4 channels of the amp in which case you're peachy.... Also I would suggest running a heavier gauge cable as smaller cable has higher resistance, especially the fishing line shit they pack in with the speakers. Solder all connections if you can too to reduce volt drops and the likelihood of vibrations rattling the generic crimp fittings loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildPlumDx Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 sweet yeah i havnt got an amp yet been looking at the Sony XM-504Z but read its pretty average so looking at buying a new pioneer GM-4300F or the bigger GM-6300F as it says you can hook them straight up to oem without the need of adapters like the ones you suggested correct ? might be the way to go, there selling both models on trademe the bigger one listed below, lemme know what you think is the best option, thanks s12 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 611014.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
