Quick wiring question!

[mxer69 10+ year member]

So here is the diagram. Question is what do I do about the power and RCA's? Can I jack it off of the 1/0 guage wire from the brutus 1608 amp? I can get my hands on a distribution block. But what about the RCA's? If I can get away with not running another set, that'd be preferable.

I'm putting in my zed 4 channel and some new CDT comps for those who are curious

Well wouldn't you want to run two sets of RCA's so that one is outputting your sub and the other is outputting your front/rear?

Right. Do I need to? Also, I only have 5 rca outs on my h/u if I'm not mistaken.. then what?

You're over thinking this, man. 5 outputs is fine. Just get a distro block, a set of 4 channel rca's (along with the 2 channel rca's you already have) and a y-splitter for your sub output...

I really think I am. I can handle the power now. Just confused with the RCA's. I have a set of RCA's hooked up to my mono amp but I'm pretty sure it also has RCA's out. Can I just take the set of RCA's out and split it with a Y splitter for both the left and the right and then hook those (total of 2 sets of RCA cables) to the 4 channel? I'd like to not have to run new RCA's but if it's necessary I can do it..

Just run a set of 4 channel rca's from the hu to the 4 channel amp and buy a distro block. Simple...

Apparently I have 6 rca outputs on the H/U so that makes it easy. Lol thanks for the help misfit

Not a good idea. If your RCA's are plugged into the SUB-OUT of the headunit, then any adjustments for bass/sub gain will go through to your 4-channel amp too. Just run separate front/rear/sub RCA's.

run separate front/rear/sub RCA's.
