Need help installing 4 channel amp on Appradio 3

[Max_034]

Ok here is my problem, I have an appradio 3 heads unit that only has four channel output. It has front right and left, and rear right and left or sub woofer output. Since I have already installed a subwoofer with a mono channel amp I want to know how I could install a four channel amp given that I only have two channels left. Should I split the rear or subwoofer outputs into two? Or should I use a 2 channel line output converter? Or is there another better option. I just ant the best audio quality. Thanks.

Edit. I think I'll give pioneer GM-D8604 a try. However I noticed that this amp has 4 channels in and 2 channels out. Could those 2 be used for the sub?

to answer your second question, yes but its much more preferable to use the subwoofer pre-outs if you can. the reason is that no LPF is perfect, so some high frequency tones will still come out of the sub, which could make it sound distorted and damage your sub over time. I would use the preout from the headunit for subs and use a LOC to split the RCA's for the fronts and rears. possibly look into a sound processor if you really want it to sound good

Ok that sounds good. I already have an audio processor from an old system I think I will use that one. Also is the audio from the front and the rear the exact same? And for the splitters should I split at the head unit or near the amplifier, or it doesn't matter?

And yes the audio is the same, only disadvantage is that now you cant use your fader for the front and rear unless that is something your sound processor does. It doesn't matter where you split the RCA's, I would do it in the trunk for simplicity.

Alright, thanks for the help. As for the fader Im not sure if my processor can control it but I don't really mind. Thanks for the help
