Hey

I am struggling to set up my Fusion CA-IP500 head unit. We are tring to hook it up to our 10" Encounter active sub unit (with a Polk 10" already swapped in)

The prob is that the head unit has only one single RCA subwoofer output (blue), while the enclosure itself has a pair of standard red and white R/L RCA inputs

Can you please advise which output to use- do I hook the sub up to the the "XM" outputs as they appear to be spare on the back of the head unit, and are bundled with the single sub line ? or do i just run the single sub line and add a single male to dual male cable to aplit the single to a double output for the sub ?

There are two other RCA line outs on the head unit, but they are going to my other amp to power the front and rear components.

Can you tell me what XM is- and what the dual outputs are for, as marke XM.., as the instructions and info on Fusion products are quite poor but then again you get what you pay for don't you !

Cheers for the help

Pretty sure this is how my UV9 is... I just ran a splitter off the deck...

Being that it is only one 10" sub centred at the back of the car, I would assumeit is not going to matter as long as I throw two lines into it

. Any idea what the XM lines are for ?

XM radio? IDK...

Hmmm such an odd pair to have bundled with the sub out in the back- hopefully someone here has the same unit and can explain. Cheers for the help.

Yea to me sounds like its the output for an external XM reciever. But if your front and rear rca connections are single rca also, then you probably just need a splitter for your amp. But yea someone who has your HU may know better than me
