Can someone explain this to me? My thoughts are buy 1 or 2 (1 male to 2 female) connectors depending on the number of amps connect those splitters to rear channel from the radio wiring up the amp(s) as normal. Is there a reduction in sound doing this? Or power? Also, if i use only 1 splitter is it ok to leave the left or right side of the rear channel open? Thinking of running 2 more SS 2.350 amps. Since the SS 520 cannot be found anywhere on the freaking planet.

Will cause damage running 4 speakers off the 2 channel amp. All speaker are Polk dxi (60 rms)?

 

Having trouble following this post....what head unit are you using ?? What are you doing with the front outputs ??

 

Clarion vz401. Comes with front/rear/sub outputs.. I have total 8 speakers, SS 4 channel 320 is driving them all, and using front/rear outputs....I have 2 channel SS 350 and I want to drive the rear speakers off the 2 channel...not sure how to wire them up. Want to maximize both amps. Using all channel, thus think splitting the rear channel from the deck to accomplish this?

 

Also sent you a PM:

Run the RCA's from the front channels of the head unit , to the front amp inputs ,..............and the rear RCA out from the head unit to the rear amp inputs.

Front amp has 4 channels, 1 for each speaker,..............rear amp has 2 channels, so rear speakers will have to be paralleled. ** Note ** Any speakers that are paralleled must be 4 ohm !!

Remember,...any speakers that are paralleled, will be splitting the wattage.

Check you wattage output on both amps, ( 2 channel amp with 2 ohm load, divided by 2 ), so that you can get the most power to the rear !!

 

SHOUTOUT to GP.... Thanks for all your help.... Jamming now....

 

awesome! GP comes in handy when he's not confuzzed...

 

Well, I thought I had success with the SS 4.320 amp.. I wired it the way you suggested... And only 2 channels played.. (this amp doesn't not allow you to switch from 2 to 4 channel with flip of the switch) Not sure if that matter but from what I read you have place amp in the two channel mode?... So, wired the 4 channel only using the front RCAs.. (wired speakers in a parallel config. (all + and all -) for all 4 speakers... Riding all day yesterday no issues.. this morning hit a bump and now I got this HIGH PITCH sound coming from the front 4 speakers... Pretty sure they are blown... Thoughts on what may have went wrong... This istall is turning into the nightmare from hell.... lol

 

tell me what speakers you have please.
tell me what head unit you have please.

 

Clarion VZ401 and Polk DXI 650 (note: just went to the parking lot... amps are in the Tour pak.. My bag must have knock the RCA cables loose... all Speakers are playing now... But... They are NOT wired to seperate channels.... I recall you talking about using a splitter in a previous thread.. can you provide detail of what you did?

 

ok just so I'm clear on this;

1. I have no clue what bike you have
2. You have a SS PN4.320D amp
3. You have a Clarion VZ401 head unit
4. You have 1 pair of Polk DXi650 speakers in the fairing

Is there ANYTHING else in your system that I need to know about before giving advice on this setup?
