Im planning a really big install, i know what im doing its just it will have 6 rca's and even the good headunits only have 3.

How can i get around this?

i dont want to daisy chain them either.

any help would be great :L

 

[thecuz]

would THIS do the job?

If you can warrent spending £99 then that will do it

Or you can buy rca splitters for about £5 each......

 

[thecuz]

oooh now that sounds better :} where can i get them from gt mate?

 

[GingaGizmo]

You've got these on ebay

Or any half decent audio gaff will have them. I had ta pair of the bottom ones on my last sub install to make a single stereo output go into a 4 channel amp :L

cheers ginga mate, do halfrauds sell these as im passing by there tomorrow :L

 

[GingaGizmo]

They mite do depending how big they are (theres 2 round here and one is deffo better than the other for ice stuff) but I dare say they will cost more than on ebay.

what are you doing that needs 6 pairs of rca's

 

[indie]

You tried Maplin? They'll sell all that stuff.

Depending on what you are doing has something to do with going for the £99 box or thesplitters AFAIK

If you use a splitter then there is a potential loss of signal strength/quality....may have an inpact on your final result

Just something to bear in mind?

Fair point to deffo be taken into consideration but if you are using a 3 output h/u then it should be ok. any less outputs and then the other option may be needed.

 

[thecuz]

what are you doing that needs 6 pairs of rca's

2 6-channel amps :whistling:

want to do a custom door build for 2 speakers in each front door, then the back door speakers, parcel shelf speakers and the 2 12" subs

even if i bought that box thing, it will only give me 5 in the end.

 

[NMS]

is this a show car or a daily driver as that will just be a mess of sound having all those speakers in there

 

[thecuz]

well it was intended to be once its all finished and painted..

but if you think im better off amping the four door speakers and keeping te 2subs then ill probably listen to you because i dont really want the hastle anyway :L

 

[percybigun]

you'd get better sound not having the shelf speakers and have front footwell subs and 3-way components in the front doors (along with big subs in the boot obviously) and run it all from a active crossover.

i've had 6x9's on the back shelf in the past with a 12" sub in the boot and TBH the shelf speakers were a waste of time and money!

 

[thecuz]

percy, you say footwell subs, but ive never heard of them :}

as for the door speakers you reckon i should ditch the 6x9's and get some components?

 

[percybigun]

yes deffo thats the best thing i ever done.

you can make a sub box for the passenger footwell and put small (say 5" or 6" ish) subs in it like this:

[thecuz]

nice one percy, do you know where i can buy those subs?

cheers :L

 

[percybigun]

i heard the install in that st200 and its one of the best i ever heard, in fact i ended up buying the boot install from it.

theres some kevlar 6.5" subs here:

the ones in that st200 were focal 5" subs, if you do a google or ebay search you should find some

 

[thecuz]

brilliant mate, what components did he have?

and once again thanks :L :L :L
