    doubt regarding the sum of the slopes between amplifier and dsp

    Good morning, I have a small doubt regarding the pendency. As a source I use a DAC... using my phone with OTG cable and optical output. Having done this I completely excluded the car radio, and with it all the controls, equalization,cut and finally I can work solely from the DSP. What I didn't...

    RCA output question

    My son is wanting to add a 4-channel amp to power his door speakers in his truck. He already has a Kicker mono sub amp installed and it has RCA output on it. My question is will that be sending a full channel out? Can we just run RCA cables from the Kicker output in the new amp inputs?

    Subwoofers popping when amplifier is turned off and on
