Hello. Putting more speekers are a hassle. You will need to put them inside the cabin. You will need to get truck speeker boxes and they have to be the right size for the subs. You will also need to get the right kind of amp for them and the right kind of wires you will need. Good Luck.
The "Front output" from the Pioneer deck would connect to the "Main In" on the Clarion EQ. I'm assuming that your Clarion EQ can only deal with one input, and will send the adjusted (equalized) signal out both of the outputs. The "Front output" from the Clarion EQ should go to the "Front Input" on the 4 channel amp. The "Rear output" from the Clarion EQ should go to the "Rear Input" on the 4 channel amp. The "Sub output" from the Pioneer deck would connect to the Left/Right Input on the Epicenter. The Left/Right Output on the Epicenter would need a Y-splitter for each side, so that you could connect each amp separately. One suggestion would be to use one sub amp for both subs.
Hello, here is Clarions wire codes. FRONT Right SPKR: +Gray -Gray/Blk, FRONT Left SPKR: +White -White/Blk, REAR Right SPKR: +Purple -Purple/Blk, REAR Left SPKR: +Green -Green/Blk
Brown Wire = Phone Mute Lead (If applicable) Yellow Wire = 12V battery lead in (Connect directly to battery) Red Wire = 12V Ignition wire (Connect to Acc switch) Blue/White Wire = Amp turn on lead Black Wire = Chassis Ground Orange/White Wire = Illumination Lead (Connect to dimmer switch) Blue Wire = Auto Antenna Lead (lowers power antenna Do not use for Amp Turn on! Use the Blue/White Wire for Amp,EQ, Ect.. turn on wire only
RCA Connectors if applicable:
Black RCA Harness: White RCA = Rear Audio Left Sub Output 1 Red RCA = Rear Audio Right Sub Output 2
Gray RCA Harness: White RCA = Front Left Audio Out to amp Red RCA = Front Right Audio Out to amp
Usually dont use 2 amps for 2 subs you can run 1 amp and two subs which is more common. But what i need to know is which cables if you are talking power cables or rca cables. If Rca then then go ahead wire together. Power is a different story and I need to know what you are pushing
you could convert the front or rear speaker wires to rca at the amp. by soldering on the rca plugs.if you converted the fronts then the front speakers would no longer work as you were taking the feed for them to the subs.
Im kind of confused with what exactly your asking. Are you trying to run 3 subs off of an amp? If so, the RCA's should go to the front of the amp, and if your plugging 3 subs in to it, you need to have a 3+ channel amp. There is a way to hook it up differently though. I have 4 12" Hifonics subs running off a 2400 watt Nitro-BMW-486 amp. I just have two subs running to each of the two channels.
First do you have an aftermarket stereo? If not you'll probably want to purchase one. You don't NEED to have an aftermarket unit, but i highly recommend it. Assuming you use an after market unit do this. First determine where you'll mount the amp, choose somewhere secure, and not in a tiny compartment. Once you've decided where you'll put it run a minimum 6gauge power wire from your battery to the amp location. Within 18in from the battery on that power wire, insert a 95-100 amp inline fuse. Next run a maximum 20in ground wire from the amp to a chassis ground(if none is there you'll have to make your own, just drill a hole in the aluminum and bolt the wire down)with also min 6gauge. Make sure all the paint around the hole is scraped off and has only bare metal. Next to connect your stereo to the amp, use RCAs. The back of your aftermarket unit will have RCA outputs, run RCA cables from these and plug them into the amp RCA inputs. Note: there's multiple outputs on the back of the headunit, use the one marked sub, or rear, assuming this amp is for subs. Next on the back of the head unit is a wire that is blue with a white stripe, connect this wire to the slot on the amp marked R.E.M. now just hook up your subs an listen to them plow!!!!!!!!!!!! side note when running your RCAs place them on the opposite side of the car from the power wire, this will avoid alternator whine in your subs.... good luck if you have questions please ask.
Remote wire from Jensen is blue or blue/white. Use Blu/white if there is one. . RCA's, for subs, use the rear if no subwoofer pre-outs are available. If unit has sub pre-uts, use them as the head ubit (stereo) would have a level that can be raised or lowered thus giving you more control over the input to the sub amp.
The basic would be to wire the sub amp to your batteries with the trigger/remote wire powered by your car stereo/head unit. When your head unit is turned on it will in turn power up the sub amp. Of course the sub woofer need to be wired to the amp. For the signal/audio wiring, normally, the head unit has a stereo RCA female connectors at the rear intended to be connected to external amps through a pair of shielded/audio cable terminated both ends with RCA males. Some units have a special RCA specifically for subs. Most eternal amps also uses RCA for their inputs.
If the existing car audio system has already an external amp and your plan is to add on to this, the audio/signal from the head unit could be split to provide both for the existing and the new sub amp.
If the existing car audio does not have an external amp and their are no RCA connectors at the rear of the head unit, it is still possible to connect an external/add on amp by using an adapter that connects to the speaker wires of the head unit and converting it out to line level (through RCAs) appropriate for the input of the amp.
Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. it would also be nice if you can post brand/model of your head unit and intended sub amp.
