6 channel HU/ interconnects

[darudeone 10+ year member]

I got a JVC KD-S100. 4 channels are 5.0V and 2 sub channels @2.0V. Do I use the sub channels AND piggyback to the high amp? or no need for piggyback?

the sub out is for a sub amp only if you dont have a sub amp do not use it!

Why would you "piggyback" a high amp from a sub amp fed from a sub output? Use the front and rear outputs from the HU for the mid/high amp. If you piggyback, you would lose the ability to use the HU subwoofer control and have to run full-range at the HU all the time to keep from cutting the high frequencies to the highs amp.

cause I'm a noobie dumb ***. I got 2 amps - an Eclipse 4200 and an dcs 4125. Next question: For 2 pair of 100rms/300peak components and 2 subs to be named later, what amp should I use? I got the eclipse before I knew.. Maybe I could find 2 10" subs @150rms and use the eclipse on dem?

the dsc4125 is 10 times better an amp than the 4200 is use the 4200 on some cheap subs
