Less RCAs

[86monte 10+ year member]

Im trying to figure out everything i need (as far as wiring goes) to install my system right now and i am looking to run as few wires as possible. My main concern is my RCAs. I will be running atleast 3 maybe 4 amps one or 2 for speakers and definetly 2 for subs. Do I have to run a set of RCAs for every amp?

You need power wire, distribution blocks (as many as needed for amps), speaker wire, and a set of RCAs for each amp

So I have to run 4 sets of RCAs into my head unit? How?

Why are you running 4 amps? Also you are going to have to use a y splitter for one sets of rcas.

I have 2 amps for my subs another amp for door speakers and maybe another one for dash speakers. i might run my dash speakers off of my HU.

What amps are you using? I have an 85 Monte and I might run 4 amps. If your sub amps are strappable, there should be no issue there. If your highs amps have pass throughs, use those.

See the third set......

What I haven't figured out yet was if using a 4 channel amp through those do all 4 channels work. I gave that amp as an example because I'm gonna use one of those.

most amp will have a pass through set to run to another amp you can use those or you can get something like an Audiocontrol 6XS or EQS.
