How should I connect my System if I want front/rear/sub independent?

[jorgetamez]

Help you guys!

At last! I'm going to install my System in a VW Jetta.

How should I connect it in order to have front/rear/sub channels independent with the following?

Alpine CDA-7995

JL Audio 300/4

JL Audio 500/1

Audiocontrol EQS Equalizer

Audiocontrol Epicenter

The Epicenter manual says it must be installed before a crossover, so I guess the signal for the sub should go HU/Epicenter/EQS/JL Audio 500/1.

In that case I will use the Subwoofer RCA connectors, but I don't know if the signal from the HU comes filtered as low pass or not.

Suggestions? What's the correct way to do it?

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

Front/Rear RCAs to EQ to 300/4

Sub RCA to Epic to 500/1

That looks right, the only thing you might want differently is

Sub RCA to EQ to Epic to 500/1

Don't connect the EQ after the Epic as according to crutchfield the EQ has a 33hz subsonic filter which would basically cancel your Epicenter gains lol

Thanks guys!

I'll go with the option GearGuy2001 gave me, 'case I want to use the EQ for the sub.

I really don't know if I'll hear the difference, I suppose I will. =)
