ok I'm trying 2 find the best way 2 wire my 2 diferant amps and 2 different subs from my reciever I have a Kenwood Kdc-302 which has 3 RCA outs but one is Sub then Front and Rear, I assume the Sub-Out puts out differant audio because on rear-out I can turn my gain up but when I plug it to sub-out I have 2 turn it down or it rattles. I then have a 500k capacitor to a 12" Pioneer 1000w peak power amp its bridged putting 500rms to a 1300w peak power pioneer sub I think the rms is around 350w. Then I have a 600w PowerBass Amp (I cant find the rms rating on this amp but it's a 4 omls when bridged) its run to a 12" MTX Thunder6000 550w peak 260w rms sub in a ported box. Both amps have there own power straight 2 battery (the 1000w has a capacitor on its powerwire) and both amps and the capacitor have there own ground wires and all 3 are ran 2 the same location
MY QUESTION IS: What is the best way 2 wire the RCA audio from the head unit because I have 3 options that iv thought of?
A) Run Sub-Out RCA 2 one amp and a RCA from Rear-Out 2 the second amp, which is how iv had it for a while but I cant controle both subs from my reciever as well or @ the same time or the LPF on rear @ all. (but it does help 2 set them differently) (this is how they have been till 2day)
B) Run Sub-out 2 the 600w Powerbass which has a RCA-Out that I can run 2 the 1000w Pioneer. (will I have problems like this? it being the smaller amp 2 the larger one?)
C) Run Sub-Out RCA 2 a RCA Splitter and 2 each amp... (which is how I just set them up)
any other opinions or recommendations will be appreciated.
Idk if the capacitor helps my system or not, the light on the amp dims still when turned up verry loud. and the pioneer seems 2 have a rattle on hard hits, idk if its cause the box isnt sealed properly or because the rms is a little higher on the amp..?
