[QUOTE="Imshirazy, post: 2812379, member: 574016"] Hey guys...I have a 7-channel amplifier (autotek sx777) but of course, my head unit only has 3 speaker outputs (front rear sub) therefore, I used a y splitter to connect l/r to my sub input for the amp. i used the rear for the 6x9s, but then I realized what do i do for the 4 speakers I have if there's only one more RCA set. So i took two splitters, connected the left to channels 1 and 3, and the right to channels 2 and 4 Now, I'm wondering if this causes the voltage to half? I doubt it does, in fact im almost 100% sure it does but my front speakers are very quiet as compared to the 6x9s could it be due to the sensitivity? When I play the 6x9s only, the volume drop is definitely not as much as it probably should be, it's barely present The gains for the fronts are slightly higher than that of the 6x9s could it just be a voltage drop in the RCA splitters making it quieter? Or is it the speakers [/QUOTE]
