Hello,

I am trying to power my mid level speakers with a 2 ch amp in my 05 Wrangler. I've pretty much gutted any and all factory sound equipment. My headunit is a pioneer DEH7400HD. Im powering my rear speakers with a 2ch Boss amp (R1002) and running the front speakers off the deck power. The Pioneer HU has 3 sets of RCAs which my mono is connected to the sub RCAs. The JBL Mono has two sets of RCAs - input and rear input. I have connected Y-connectors to these RCA to have one RCA input for the mono amp. When I set the rear speaker settings to SW on the head unit I can only fade left and right rear speakers. So no four way fading.

So my question is, should I be running Y-splitters for the front and rear RCAs? Or is there a better method of wiring the RCAs? Do the front RCAs even need to be connected since I am running the front speakers off the head unit itself?

I tried wiring all 4 speakers to the amp but since its such a crappy amp I find it better just to power a pair of speakers.

Head Unit - Pioneer DEH-7400HD

front speakers - Rockford Fosgate Punch P1462; 4X6

rear speakers - Polk Audio db521; 5-1/4

2ch amp - Boss Riot R1002

Mono Amp - JBL 600.1

Sub - RF Punch P3 12 4ohm 600W

Thanks,

The black rca out is your mono sub output. That is the one you would use for signal to your sub amp.

This option is better because you need 3 pairs of RCA cables. Tweeters, midrange, and bass. You then use a Y at the amps on the Bass run, then use...

No make or model number on it? Do you have an exact picture of the rear and all its glory?
