Plugging RCAs into output and input

[Chris Z 10+ year member]

I'm waiting on my 5m rca cable from Knu, and I'd like to have sound to all 4 of my speakers, rather than just 2 of them, but I'm wondering will this harm my amp at all:

wtf do you think this is going to accomplish running the rca inputs to the output? the output is for strapping the same amps together using any after the first amp as slave amps

It gives a signal to my rear speakers. If you read all of my post, you would understand that I am waiting for my other 5m RCA cable from Knu. I'm currently using the RCA cable I was previously using for my sub amp, which is why I only have one set of RCAs. Basically, what I am trying to accomplish here is getting the signal to my two rear speakers, while I'm waiting for my other RCA cable.

you cant find some y splitters and cheap rcas until then?

What is the point of spending more money when I've already spent some? I just want a simple answer. Will this screw up my amp or not? If it will screw something up inside, I'll just survive with 2 speakers for a few more days, but I just want to know if there's anything wrong with this.

Because in car audio it's all about wasting money.

Impossible to say. RTFM.

It may or may not. Probably not. No guarantee. Consult original documentation for details.

The thing is, when you give this thing INPUT from the OUTPUT, the INPUT will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT which will route to the OUTPUT which will route to the INPUT -- ∞

See the problem? A loop is a bad thing.

try it and find out

 

[Chris Z 10+ year member]

Yeah, I figured it was an infinite loop, so I wasn't sure if it was a bad thing. plugitin - I've tried it, just for a few seconds to see if it would work, but I just bought this amp, so I'm not gonna try it for long periods of time, in case it does screw up my amp. If I just had a disposable amp, or one that I didn't really care about, I would try it out for an extended period of time, but I don't really wanna blow this one since I just got it last Tuesday.

Why? Just use a set of splitters.

It will probably create a loop, and whatever time of delay would determine the frequency at which it will loop. Think of putting a microphone hooked an amp and putting the mic in front of the speaker hooked to that same amp. There, it would be distance from the mic + propagation delay that determines the loop frequency.

Plug it in and use it. The output is a simple pass through, there is no loop to create.
