So why not just use the HU rear RCA outputs for the subs and run your four speakers off of you HU???

I tried to have the RCAs and the regular speaker wire running at the same time, but unfortunately you have to have either all RCA or all wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Thanks for trying though

When you tried that did you have the RCAs connected to the rear outputs?

or you could save up, sell that HU and get some of the money back and get a new HU..... either way ur losing money and why not do it the right way?

you don't need to power rear speakers, btw. i wouldn't power the fronts either, unless they're aftermarket speakers.

save up ur money, sell the HU and buy a new HU with subouts, as opposed to saving ur money and buying a new amp.

the amp isn't the problem in this case, its the HU. you can't properly fix a problem without eliminating the true cause.

So.... you just basically want me to power my sub and that's it? Hmm, I like lyrics, IDK about you?

They are all aftermarket speakers that I spent a good deal of money on... the rear ones themselves were quite expensive, that's just why I hate to get rid of them. Let me ask you a question, could I just share a connection with my rear speakers? I mean, join them as one. Both rear right and rear left running off of the rear right output from the head unit? I mean, perhaps there is a splitter I can buy, or something? I just really want my rear speakers because they really help in making the surround sound effect if you know what I mean. I don't care if they don't sound as good as they could, but as long as they sound decent...

Could I wire up my rear speakers in a series? What kind of sound degredation would that cause, or would it just be db (noise) reduction?

BaseSteala112, I did have the RCAs connected to the rear outputs.

They'd both be playing the right-side stereo signal.

Best option if you can't shell out any money is to just lose the rear fill altogether.

I just don't understand why you can't tap onto the rear speaker outputs from the radio and run a line output convertor to the sub amp. Seems more logical than buying more amps and a new HU. You can amp your interior speakers later.
