RCA wiring layout

[Bryce Neal]

I am a little confused and trying to figure out the best way to run rcas to get all the signal. I have a head unit with 4 rca output(no sub out). I have a kicker monoblock that has rca in and out options. Then I have a skar 4 channel with no rca out. I am thinking of running the front left and right rca from head unit directly to channels 1 and 2 on the 4 channel. And then the rear 2 rcas go to the input of the monoblock. Then rca out from the mono block to channels 3 and 4 of the skar 4 channel. Would this cause any issues or work correctly. Or should I use y splitters on both the out puts of monoblock and run only the rear signal to the 4 channel? Or just split the front signals to go to the 4 channel and rear signal goes to mono block?Trying to figure out the best option. Let me know

That should work fine

Yes, should be fine. Make sure your head unit is powerful enough if you go Y-splitters.

If you are going from the outputs of the mono amp to the rear channels of the 4 channel amp make sure the signal from the mono amp is a full range signal and not just sending a subwoofer signal to the other amp. That output may be designed to go to a second or multiple daisy chained mono amps. It may also be connected to the mono amps crossover. Check the manual if you have it or, to keep it simple and quick... Y-splitters.
