I need some advice on the solution for those Head Unit that come with only one RCA Output to pair with a 4 Ch Amp.
I come across below solutions over the web, but not sure which is the recommended one.

1. Use a RCA splitter (Y Splitter).
2. Connect Amplifier RCA Out back to RCA-Rear.
3. Use a Hi-Lo converter.

lower output voltage can use gain to compensate. Lousy signal can never compensate.

Noted. Thanks for your advice.
Just wondering the correct connection using Y splitter as below rite?

HU RCA Left (White) - Y Splitter - Amp both Left (White) on Front and Rear.
HU RCA Right (Red) - Y Splitter - Amp both Right (Red) on Front and Rear.

Or the other way round?

if you have access to solder tools, you can make you own y-splitter, cut to length frm source to amp without needing another cables,,,

The RCA Cable that i'm using i think is fixed dead as the connector is un-removable.
Better not to take the risk, later i break the RCA connector even worst.
Sorry as i may not have much experience in soldering.
Anyway thanks for your advise smile.gif
