RCA signal question

[moparerrnocar 10+ year member]

I have a jvc hu thats got two rca outs, main out/sub out. I plan to run a 1500 mono and a 1000 a/b for my highs. I was planning to Run 2 rca's, one to the 4ch and the other one to the mono off the sub out. Then I thought... Wouldn't it be cheaper, easier and cleaner to just run one main rca from the main out on the hu to the 4ch and then run a short 1.5ft cable from the out on the 4ch to the in on the mono. Daisychain so to speak.

Whats the advantage to the sub out vs the main out on the hu? Is the sub out just a cleaner more defiant bass signal(less clipping). It would be easier to dasychain but it would sound cleaner and deeper if there signals were separated. Am I understanding it correctly guys? Thanks

Sub level and crossover control from the hu would be lost.

I could be wrong, but I believe that you would also be splitting your output voltage between the 2

You don't split voltage.

whatever the hu rca out voltage would make it to both amps?

a while ago, i daisy chained some amps and neither of my amps seemed to pack any punch, I just assumed it was RCAs splitting the voltage

Never thought of that...

Does the hu split the voltage if I use both pre-out's? Its only a 2.4v...

Another question.... Can RCA's interfere with one another if ran side by side, do they need to be separated like the power cable?

Thanks

No and no.
