RCA splitter

[Heide264 10+ year member]

I have a pioneer hu which I'd prefer to use in place of my current eclipse one. It only has one set of pre-outs though. I was wondering if there would be any harm in just splitting the one set of pre-outs into 2 so I can run both my sub and door amps. The one amp actually has an optional crossover in it, and the sub enclosure itself has a coil in it. I run the door speakers full band.

See any issues with it?

some amps also have outputs on them so you dont have to do that, but yes you can do that

Thanks, just going to wire it up to my dist blocks and try it out.

Do you mean some amps have rca output as well as input? Are they the same idea as a splitter basically? I know mine don't, one is a 15+ year old USAmps150 and a mid line JBL. Never knew that though, appreciate it.

Okay, can somebody explain, on an older pioneer head unit (DEH-1600), it only supposedly has "rear" preouts... Any truth to this or marketing gimic? I would think a pre-out is a pre-out other than fade control.
