I’m starting off by saying :
I have a DEH-X6900BT pioneer head unit that is equipped with 4 pre-outs that are each rated at 2 volts
I have 2 of these pre outs hooked up directly to a Rockford fosgate 4x250 amp
The other 2 preouts I’m wanting to split so that they go to both the Rockford fosgate and another 2 channel amp for subs (the 4x250 is powering door speakers)
Now this is where I can NOT find the answer to the life of me, my headunit has two factory rear speakers directly wired to the headunit harness. And the 4 other speakers are wired (through a amp) to the given preouts. If I was to split the rear left and right pre-outs to route to another amp would this disrupt the signal too much? That would be a total of 7-8 speakers on a 4 channel headunit and I’m not sure if 2 volts is enough to carry that... I’ve been reading on this subject for a week and have gotten nowhere.
If this creates too much distortion at the HU do I need to instal a line driver? If so , which one? because I can’t seem to find one that doesn’t have a bunch of useless “extra’s” with a hefty premium
And my last question, if I was to instal a line driver where would I put it for this application, would I put it before or after the rear Y SPLITTERS or would I need to put it on all 4 preouts to keep the HU running without too much “load”
Any answers to this would be much appreciated
