[QUOTE="Lowkey, post: 8788064, member: 637323"] I have a Pioneer 80prs with the standard red/white RCA sub output. I've seen 3 different methods for hooking up the Smart 5. All 3 recommend by some and criticized by others. Which method do you use/recommend? 1. Use a Y splitter to combine the L/R RCAs into one and plug that into the IN. 2. Just use one side of the RCA to connect to the IN. Taping up the other and letting it hang. 3. Use both L/R into the IN and OUT. Treating it like a standard connection and basically ignoring the word OUT. I emailed Taramps about this and they said it would work normally this way but the majority of people I talk to seem to be convinced this is a terrible idea and will damage the amp. The perfectionist in me really wants to do this in the most optimal way but I can't find a solid answer as to which way that is. [/QUOTE]
