can i use this to my car amplifier? im planning on splitting my 4 channel amplifier to a mono amplifier for the subwoofer. thanks in advance.

Your question is unclear. Do you mean 'bridging' your amp to mono? If so you probably shouldn't need this chord since its one female to two males...

It should work. I used it for the sub out on my receiver into the split channel of my sub. I've done this multiple times and it's the concept you're think for the car.
1081521
No. This cord ONLY works as a splitter for digital audio coaxial. I found that out he hard way.

hi, i don't think is going to work, the output for the subwoofer should be without power amplification, and is usually a dedicated output, if is not there, your amplifier is not designed to connect a subwoofer. sorry.

I'll tell you what i did. I connected the Autotek speakers 6.5 in the front with the a pair rear speakers to an amp. The amp is a 400 watt 4 channel. Then i connected a ten inch sub, to a mono amp. So i have two amps in my car, and they sound great. I just looked for a good stereo dealer and had him connect everything. I am really loving the sound I'am getting.

i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope... » Read More i read some other guys doing it, but i think you will be a little weak on power, and i had a problum over heating when used at 90% gain. i had to back down to 60%to solve the over heating auto shut down, its a nice clean amp and at 60% it will push my 4 polk audio db651s very very loud and clear....i have 2 8in subs that will shake the car using a boss R1100m amp .....myself ,go with 2 amps, or just one on the subs and the fullrange off the head. the boss is low cost ,and has been getting thrashed 2 hrs a day 6 days a week for almost a year and every thing in the car works as new...... hope this helped « Show Less

Some aftermarket car stereos, like certain Pioneers head units I know of, will allow you to direct only bass to rear speaker channels and direct only mid and high sounds to the front speaker channels. Using this function, you can run a mild mannered subwoofer without an amp. I have seen this done with a small cab pickup truck where rear speakers were not practical and a little power to a 10 or 12 inch Pioneer sub went a long way.

Not very well, Ur gonna need some type of amp to power the sub. subs usually take more power to run then the normal speakers in Ur car. U will burn out the radio trying to power the sub or u will not have any sound come out the sub

Yes! This amp will work but you need preamplifier.But I think you need more bigger power amplifier If you want best sound quality because this amp is good for car audio.

I would.think so seeing as it has a built.in crossover. But i would talk to someone from best buy, or an audio store.to make sure before.purchasing. I only have a sub, and my factory speaker hooked up thru this amp. So I am only taking up two channels. I will say, it's a beast of an amp, and if it does what you are looking for, its worth every penny. Hope I have been of some help

Yes. This is the best way to do what you want to do. I am using the same item for a signal to my amp for a sub using the Bose system in a 2010 Mazda speed3.

Tony...sorry i missed ya ... im not online too often...That amp is 1 CHANNEL ONLY..USED FOR SUBWOOFERS...HIGH QUALITY...mINE IS HOOKED UP TO 2 KICKER SOLO BARIC 15"s I have illegal sound...

check out boostaroo for audio amplifiers specially for cars...this ampwill be much better than stock audio but a preamp from boostaro shudbe tons better

I'd posit that this wire would work for car speakers as long as you terminate it correctly. You'd need to make sure you have enough for the multiple runs to the speakers. Perhaps you'd consider a thicker (lower number gauge) for subwoofers.

Sure can. Only downside is it would be in mono and not stereo, but it's still very loud. One of the loudest inline amp this small. Also I believe you need a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.

I have this because my car does not have a head unit. I can say you are better off getting a dedicated head unit and using it instead. This amp should work with any application - it has preamp inputs and speaker-level inputs. This means you can have an input from RCA (like from an aftermarket headunit) or from your factory headunit (splice into the wires going TO the speakers).
2017723
You can just run your main amp wiring to the high level inputs and then run the needed wire from the sub to the front speakers. If your amp is a integrated preamp with mutable pre-outs you can run a RCA from the secondary pre-outs via a single RCA cable. This will give you a 2.1 setup with the sub playing only one channel of the possible two channels. Mono powered subs can run a single channel and it will not sound as though your missing out.

I have seen advertised an installation kit for home use. In my car the audio output goes to the line in jack, so if your amp has a stereo line input you should be good to go.

That's a quite complex question you should look it up online to know more. Simply said you can play a sub at 1,2 or 4 ohm. It's takes a weaker amp to power at 1 but it also puts more stress on the speakers. At 4 ohm it would be hard to fully supple the power. Your best bet is to look up wiring for 2 ohm or 4 ohm subs and match it with what is in your car or when your planning to have. You can't simply say one is better than other. Amplifiers have diffrent ohm they supply to depending on the amp type and setup.

This mono amp is designed to be used with a "passive", (non-powered) sub woofer. If your subwoofer has a power cord, then it is "active" , meaning it has an amplifier built into it. In this case you don't need the separate mono amp. Simply run an rca cable from your sub-out on your receiver to the woofer.
