preamp outputs?

i was lookin at this

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/SYS_3.pdf

to learn how to connect to amps and i see that theyre connectable cuz they have outputs.

i wanted to buy an aq1200d but that does not have outputs so does that mean i cannot connect it to another amp like the one for my door speakers?

also does a HU need outouts to connect a crossove to it?

wouldnt it be just as easy to run 1 set of rxa from ur deck to ur sub amp then another set for ur 4 channel?

i think so

im not sure

i think its because the jl have built in crossovers

so it would be the same thing as using a regular amp and hookin it up to a crossover

can somone clarify this?

The RCA outputs on the JL amps are pass throughs. All amps will have crosovers on them, whether it be a class A/B amp or a class D mono block. The reason for having a pass through is for one of two reasons. First is i you have a head unit that only has 1 set of RCA outputs or your are using a line out converter for signal. Having the pass through will alow you to run a multi amp system that way. Also, let say you were running 4 subs abd wanted to amp each sub with its own amp, well the pass through on the amp would run into the signal input on the other amps and so on. Only draw back to this is with each amp the signal passes through you will lose singal voltage.

so it would just be better to connect every amp to ur HU if u have enough preouts. like cuttin out the middle man

Yes, it will be better to do that.
