[anandsingh]

Hi everyone,

A question on adding a new amp.

Problem is I dont have another rca output from the HU.
HU is a JVC 50w x 4 1 RCA.

Require another amp to power my front splits.
How would I do it? the best way
what amp would you reccomend to power these splits?

Current Amp is powering the subs its a 2way, mosfet bridgable. powering two 10"

Following are the specs of the front splits

Brand DLS.

Speaker type : 2-way coaxial
Woofer size : 13 cm (5,25")
Power handling capacity : 60 W RMS / 90 W max
Tweeter : 20 mm (0,8") silk dome tweeter
Frequency range : 60 - 20.000 Hz
Sensitivity : 93 dB (1W/1m)
Magnet size : 90 mm (3,54")
Outer diameter of woofer : 130 mm (5,12")
Installation depth : 61 mm ( 2,4")
Mounting hole : 117 mm (4,6")
Crossover : Filter box with LP 6 dB & HP 12 dB slope\

Cheers

you can buy 1 into 2 RCA adaptors from jaycar ... thats how i fixed the problem ... where just under $3 each when i bought them :p

you can also get a converter which will take the speaker output from the head unit and turn it into a RCA output to go to an amp.

This will be better than splitting the rca , which weakens the signal

serious? dunga!

thanks for the reply

What happens if i need the speaker output for my rears though?

They do a 4 channel one.
There are also any number of power amps that have inputs that take speaker level signal. JL is one example.
As the Orion rep I can tell you that our amps also have this feature and would be a good choice for DLS speakers. Orions are sold by Autobarn.

If you end up going for the speaker to line converter and it has adjustments on it to vary the voltage, don't make the mistake of turning them up all the way and keeping your amps down low. All you'll be doing is upping the voltage in your RCA lines which won't help with interferance.
