I have a Pioneer 3750MP HU and I'm planing to get a 4ch amp. In my car nw there's 1 comp set in the front doors and 2 8" subs in the boot. There's also the stock kelisa speakers in the rear board but its not used presently.

My question is, how should i wire the amp? I plan to route the HU's front output to the amps front input (to power the comps) and the HU's RCA out to the amps rear input (to power the subs). The i plan to route the HU's rear out directly to the rear speakers which are presently not used. Doing this for the benefit of the occasional times i carry ppl in the backseat.

Wat do you guys think?

Sounds like a good plan, if there's front and rear pre-outs, check whether the rear pre-outs can be changed to subwoofer pre-outs, i know certain Pioneer HUs have that feature.

Rear speakers powered by the HU isn't that bad, but try to fade your Front/Rear balance to the front so as not to create bad imaging(with the rears being overpowered and sound seemed to be coming from the back)

Yup that's the plan actually. thumbup.gif However, just to clarify, there's only one set of pre outs which I believe will be used for the subs. Must check though if it can be 'selected' for this purpose. Thanks

well another option is to get an RCA converter
convert your front speaker output to RCA to connect to you amps
using back stock connection for your rear

Yes I think this is the option I will go for. How much can i expect to pay for one of these? No more than a few dollars I expect?

Is there any benefit in the sound quality by doing this?
