Quick Question

I have a Power Acoustik deck and It has Audio outs, ones for Right Rear and Right Front and the other is for left rear and left front. So my question is how can I hook up subs if there are no sub outs? Thanks for the help

if you have no sub out, put it in the rear pre outs. it's not as good as with a sub out that you can set seperatly from the speakers, but it's the only thing you can do. a sub out is way better cause you can somethimes set your frequencies to your speakers and sub seperatly, wich is best.

So will the subs hit or will they just be like a speaker and play music?

Also I plan on running 2 amps so should I run 2 sets of RCA's , one from the Left outputs and one from the Right outputs?

they will still hit, and no they wont play the music, just the bass (as long as you set your amp crossover to low pass and put it at 80 or lower, but you will not be able to set it like you want, cause watever you set it to, the rear speakers will have the same thing going to them too, so you cant put the bass up cause the speakers wont be able to handle it. the only way to gain on bass without sending it to your speakers too is to set your amp higher (bass boost, gain, etc...) wich is not a good idea, cause it will distort the sound and sound like **** and possibly blow your sub. you could also buy a crossover for your speakers, then you could set the frequencies.

If the amp has a pre-out then you can just daisy chain them together. Amp 1 can connect to amp 2.
