System Setting

Post by nikhan »

Ok finally got my Head Unit :)

It has 3 RCA preouts so I'm just wondering what set up should I use. I already have a amp and a subby as well. Need some advice.

I was planning to hook up my sub to the HU, my rear speakers to the HU and my front speakers to the Amp.

Or is it better to hook up my front to the HU, and my sub and rear to the Amp

Or are there some other setup that is better.

Bridg the sub off 3 & 4 and run fronts off 1 & 2. Then get a good set of 6x9's for the back running of the HU.
Better still get a mono block for the sub and run the speakers off the other one.
