I'm no noob to installing stereos. I've installed a lot of them and know how to wire the power, non keyed power, ground etc. I know I can use the power antenna lead to fire up a power antenna, an amp etc.
The thing is I've only ever installed a headset with a pair of 6X9's, (occasionally with a single amp). I understand crossovers but since I'm not running tweeters I don't know if I need them. I'm also wanting to run 2 amps. Here's what I've got: Retrosound radio (RC900C) with both high and low,(RCA) outputs. A pair of 6.5" speakers that I'm putting into 914rubbers speaker pods. I want to drive those with a 200 watt amp. 1 sub, (8"), built into a passenger side footwell enclosure. I have a 300 watt amp that I want to use with it. I purchased both the sub and the 300 watt amp from a "world" member who previously used those components together. Here's my question. Can I use the RCA plugs coming out of the headset and split those to the 2 amps and then just wire the speakers or ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

You can split the RCA cables. Remember the 914 does not have an accessory position on the key. It's best to wire the red and yellow wire together to a hot source. Just remember to turn it off when parked.

Besides the bumper I bought from Rob's wife your the only member I've met in person. I was the pasta guy who bought the passenger side door. Thanks again, Erik |
