I have a Pioneer DEHX6600BT head unit (1 pair stereo & 1 pair sub output). Anyone have any ideas on how i can hook this up properly? 4&5CH operation.

I agree with you, Gio T. Split the two rears to four outputs and run to the 4 channels and run the red and black sub outs to the sub ins of the amp. In intial setup set the pioneer to rear/ sub. This will allow hpf to control your mids and Sub/ ctrl to control the LPF of ur subs

Amp is configurable for 3 channel output as well. Go to Rockford's website and download the manual.

I would read the manual. I used to do this for a living and frankly I can count on one hand the number of multi channel amps that I installed that had to have all 4 inputs used. Typically there's a set that you can use as two channel inputs that will provide input to all four channels if you don't have anything plugged into those. And typically these amps that required all four channel inputs were very high end like Zapco, MacIntosh, stuff like that.

With only one stereo output you need an rca cable splitter, thats about all u can do

Your headunit has outputs for 4 channel, so just use RCAs to run from the headunit to the amp. To hook up the subwoofer on the last channel simply split the signal that carries the low frequencies to the sub input and set the amp to run a low pass filter on it. Hooking it up is easy, tuning is difficult at this point.Your headunit has a switchable subwoofer output, the last 2 channels you can set to either full range or subwoofer signals. Set to full range then split it.

Hello Louise, Buy a sub that has Speaker level inputs and outputs on the back ( many polk, sony, bic etc. do). Simply install right and left speaker wires to the amp as you normally would for regular speakers. Then conect those wires to the r/l speaker INPUT on the back of the sub. Then run seperate wires from the r/l OUTPUT on sub to your speakers. Works and sounds great! Hope this helps. S

Buy a vintage stereo receiver with a headphone jack and phono input. Preferably a mid to late 1970's model or very early 80's. Look for a ~30W Pioneer, Kenwood, Onkyo, HK, Toshiba, Sony. Should be able to find one on Craigslist for $0-$150. These things were constructed very well, it was the heyday of audio gear. Nothing like the throwaway Chinese junk made today. Pioneer's SX series is very abundant and priced pretty reasonably.

I plugged it into the left input of subwoofer and connect channel one (out put) of Pioneer VSX-824 5.2-Channel. When I do sound check the subwoofer respond perfectly fine but when I play pandora, airplay with iPhone or DVD, the subwoofer does not make any noise at all. What do I do?

To the person who said their amp is shutting off........please check your voltage regulator. I dealt with 2 pioneers and 1 JBL amp which did the same thing. The amps were good, but turned out to be my voltage regulator. Car stereo always worked fine, but amp would go into default.

I generally like Pioneer, but if you read my review you might guess I'm wondering why you would want to hook anything to the BD. Having said that, I'm sure they're not all that bad. Not sure, but I believe phono input level is different from than aux / cd... I also believe their is an inexpensive converter on Amazon and elsewhere. Hope that helps.

What I'd seriously do is find one in the flesh and look carefully at the back. Now I bought one of them and wasn't too keen about it so I got one from another party for my shop with an equalizer For the house I looked and got a pioneer vex 51 series because its one of he last ones with stereo jacks and maybe at the older pioneer Yamaha Sony receivers and get a Pyle pro eq like I did outstanding sound Hope this helps so let me know.

On the back of the receiver there is only two audio inputs, four speaker outputs and antenna input. If you run your cd player to your eq then connect the eq to audio input it should be fine.

No you're not missing anything - alas this is short on analog inputs and outputs. Pioneer's increasingly been focused on digital inputs on the low- and medium- range markets, and it's only near the top of the range that there are lots of analog inputs/outputs. I think other than the Yamahas and perhaps the Onkyos, nothing in the 2013 line up has a lot of analog jacks. You may have more luck on the stereo amps, though.

Hi. I would verify the positions of the pots and faders on the selected channels that you have audio going in. Also, do you have output as stereo L-R? I would verify your configuration for the output of the amplifier by looking at that section of the manual. I apologize if you've had it a while and the audio level has dropped....Good luck!

Same thing happened to mine. There is no way to fix the issue except returning it or sending back to Pioneer

Sorry, but I was NOT happy with the Pioneer unit, and returned it for a Yamaha. My advice: Get a Yamaha! I have 2 now, and they work flawlessly.

Good Day. Yes, this will work with your head unit perfectly in the way that you want. Thank You

I would ask your local stereo installer. Prob just need the harnest for your car.

Good question. I'm unsure, try calling pioneer to better answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

Most head units do not function this way because the interference it would cause to switch between two products being active at the same time. This would not work with the stereo listed.

Anthony, This may be a better question for the manufacturer of the device to be safe for they can have more insight as to how the inputs are being managed from the device and your head unit. I contacted them with a problem I was having and they were quite helpful.
