Need Help With Amp/head Unit Cables!

[DRFT31]

Hey guys,

Just bought a JVC KD-AV7100 installed it today, works all perfect very happy with the unit. But i couldnt connect the amp correctly to the deck. Reason being is the sub rca only has one input, where there is also a additional rear and front rca's one being red and the other being white. I bought a spitter which goes from my current rcas from the amp which connect to one and go into the deck sub/rca but the sound sounded like POO, and could even hear some vocals coming out. Might be a stupid question but what is the correct way to connect it so i can use my sub control button on the deck.

Cheers guys!

I know this will be a problem someone can help me with

Your hearing voices,, sounds like a mental haunting..lol

I think what your asking is,

the deck has sub outputs,RCA but only 1 not 2 ? use splitter from the radio to the amp, if the amp red and white rca inputs some amps have mixed input switch on the side panel, to mix RCA input signals internally, to use 1 RCA input. if so turn it on, and put the single rca from deck to amp,, it will be marked on amp case normally? you didnt mention amp brand

the deck has a crossover for the sub output built in ? read the manual to figure out how to turn on the sub out crossover, set to 80hz for starters to rid the voices coming from sub.

if the deck only has front and rear RCA (out which doesnt sound like the case), use the rear RCA to amp that way you can fade it out to control the output a bit,

sound like you have it right just read the radio manual to turn on the xover to 80hz and set the phase if required.

Thanks champ, changed it to 85hz. Also bought a new set of splitters only cost $9, the previous ones i used had been sitting around for a while from my old install, should of been fine thou. It seemed to do it trick. Perfect bass. No voices! Yes! Im not crazy after all! lmao.

Thanks again.
