[QUOTE="2000nwxj, post: 8285667, member: 661954"] My girlfriend got me a new deck for my birthday. My old alpine had 3 speaker outputs (front, rear, and subwoofer). My new one has 2 speaker outputs (front, rear or sub). Even though it didn't seem right the dude at stereo king told me I just needed to splice the rear into the front so I got 2 Y splitters and ran both red into red on the front speaker output and both black into black on the front output and my sub through the rear/sub output. I am assuming that I am running into some sort of impedance issue or I have to turn up the volume to high to compensate for the power loss of running 4 speakers through a 2 speaker output resulting in a blown speaker sound. I have an mtx amp powering my 4 infinities and a mono alpine powering my type-r. I assume that alpine wouldn't really make you choose between rear speakers or a sub if the deck was meant to run a subwoofer so there must be a way to solve the issue, do I need to bridge my amplifier? Thanks for any insight [/QUOTE]
