2 loc's or rca splitters?

[pboulos 10+ year member]

i am running my system off stock head unit (replacing it is out of the question or i will lose functionality of my stock cd changer) and i am running my sub amp off a loc. i am now upgrading my front stage and adding a 2 channel amp so should i use rca splitters to split the signal going to the sub amp to both the sub and speaker amp, should i use the line out on the sub amp and daisy chain to the speaker amp, or should i add a second loc and run a second set of rca's from there???

i've never heard of anyone running 2 loc's before though so i need to know if it will work first

if it were me I'd want to use another LOC from the front speaker outputs so I could still fade. However, given the hassle of finding a place to splice and running all the wires I might just end up using the sub amp line outs, which would probably be easiest.

ao the signal wouldnt be messed up or altered or anything if using the line outs on the amp ? i dont know if it affects the signal or not but i have the low-pass filter on for the sub amp

depends on the amp.

Usually the line outs are spliced b4 the xo's

hifonics zeus xi, kinda old school

i could only find a manual for the zeus xx, and it said the line outs have the same x/o as the amp.

what about your 2 ch? What's it?

I'd recommend using a device such as and Audio Control LC6i or LC8. This will cleanup your signals from the head unit and give you a clean low level rca connection to both your amp for your front and/or rear stage and also for your sub amp.

i havent gotten a 2 channel yet still looking around. i was actually thinking if i could sell my zeus xi for 240 shipped quick enough i would get the matching soundstreams: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=201433

but i dont know about the line-outs on those either
