2 channel rca's into a bridged 4 channel?

[Lil Poot 5,000+ posts]

i've got my 4 channel bridged now, and i'm not quite sure how to plug my 2 channel rca's into it. they're 4v preamp outs on my head unit, and my US acoustics 4 channel has 2.2v max input voltage. if i use splitters i would get a stronger signal but would cut the resistance in half and maybe screw up the deck right?

I would run the splitters..... unless there is a switch for 2 channel input

hmmm.... I had an old hifonics 4 channel amp back in the day that got considerably louder when it had splitters on it (bridged). I think each RCA input needs power for the amp to produce full signal.

right, i'm just not sure about the current load on the head units rcas.

Don't worry about that...there is a high impedance on the amp's inputs, your deck won't really care about 2 or 4 channels.
