Alpine MRD-540

Can I run my 2cd of 2 MRD-M300's off my pre-out on my MRD-540 instead of Y jacking it off the first 300?The 540 is my main 4 ch. amp right now.Not that it sounds bad but woulnt it be better if they both had a dedicated line IN.

Someone has to know the answer to this

I really could't understand what you were saying.. but you can either come out the output on one amp to feed the other or you can use a Y adapter to split the main feed from the HU to both amps.

Either way is fine.

im running from the "line out" from one amp to the "line in" on another amp and not using any "y" adapters, im not sure if or how noticable it would be but i would assume that the "y" adapter would actually weaken the signal going into each amp, or if its a 4 volt pre out, each amp might only get 2 where if you ran line in to line out its still the same line and there is no power or signal loss

I understand that.The 300's only have the line in though.My HU has 3 sets of RCA plugs,Front,rear and sub.Thats why I ws wondering if I could come off my 4 ch. amp pre out with my 2cd mono amp(MRD 300)Would the signal be the same on the preamp output on 540.Since it has the front and rear outputs from the HU ran into it, not the one for sub.

Thanks Steve
