JVC avx-810 headunit to connect a solobaric 12"

[ricanchulo373]

I have a avx-810 DVD headunit in my 01 Mustang Cobra and am wanted to add a solobaric L7 12" sub with a mono amp, probably the kicker zx750.1 amp, and have some issues.

This headunit has 5v 5-channel preamp outputs, but the subwoofer output only has one female connector while the amp will use 2channel rcas.....How would i connect it to get the best performance? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I was told to get a y-connector and do it that way....but will that cause the 5v output to be split to 2.5v per side?

How would you recommend i connect this to my headunit to get the most volts to my amp and sub?

Wait the Subwoofer output has only one female connector???? Are you sure?

I have a AVX- 710 in my car and it only has one set of preamps for the whole unit. Why not just use one of the rear preamp outputs from the unit.

And y connectors are fine, used them several times, they just split the signal, not the output of it.

the one i have has 5-channels...with preamp outputs of 5v

2 for the fronts, 2 for the rear speakers, and one single connector to the subwoofer, but since any mono amp uses a 2channel rca to connect, thats what im tring to figure out...the best way to get the power from my headunit to the sub

the y connection would be the most common option. im not quite sure if it will split up the volts. i dont think so, but not 100% positive so im not going to say for sure if it will or wont. u do have the option of using one of the rear preamps as long as your amp has a built in EQ which im sure it does. if it sounds like u may be getting to much treble out of your sub running it that way, u could always toss in a cheap EQ to tune it in better.

I have the jvc KD-AVX2 it has the same thing it has front/rear/center/subwoofer. just y adapt the subwoofer rca you will still get the voltage.
