[QUOTE="waterstone, post: 7409493, member: 624527"] Hi, Right now, I think I'm doing something bad between my HU (kenwood KDC bt742U) and my amp (MB Quart DSC450). I have connected the RCA wire from the HU to the amp just like if I would be running some rear speaker except that I have used the sub output. But I actually bridged the rear channel to power my sub. In the amp manual, they say that I need to use a Y adapter. I am not sure even if I had that how to use it but it looks like I should be using a mono source that would then split into the rear two channel of the amp. It also says that if I don't use a Y adapter, I can damage the output stage of the source or the input stage of the amp. I have been using this setup for about a year but I bought a new sub and I want to make sure everything is OK. Thank you [/QUOTE]
