RCA Preouts question/help

[Cmberges1]

Ok need some easy quick help. I need to know if I should use the Front and Read preouts for bridged front components.

I'm running a JL 400/4 "bridged" to my Hertz Centro components. My Kenwood unit has 3 preouts (4v) so yeah. I have the fronts bridged, right side to channel 1/2 and left to channel 3/4. So should I just use one set of rca (front channel on hu) and split at amp or should I run 2 rca (front/rear) to the amp. That would put the right on a "front" channel and the left on the "rear" channel. Does it matter or is one idea better than the other?

Currently I have the front and sub rcas ran and need to know if I should run another set before I put everything back together.

Thanks y'all!!!!!

Depends what model the amp is. Is it the JX, JD, RD, XD?

Could you post a picture of it?

Pretty sure on those you can switch it to 2 channel mode and you only need to run rcas to channel 1&2.

Saw this on the RD line, which confused me. Seems like it is implying that inputs 1&3 are for Mono operation. Manual says 1&2, then switch selector to 2 ch.
