My head unit has a single RCA sub output, do I need a splitter or will it work with just the one input?

Never heard of a head unit with only one rca output. It's a single sub running mono so it might work with one rca, but it definitely has two inputs.

You will need a splitter for aftermarket stereos; I installed my Dual SBP8A direct-to-factory speaker wiring harness (MONO set-up) because I used my factory head unit, but when using RCA cables for an aftermarket head unit you will need to use a splitter. I helped someone recently with an in dash DVD/CD player installation and it had only one SUB INPUT so he had to use a splitter.

Yes, sir. It has a rca plug up specifically for your subs. As long as you have everything on your end, you should be golden.

Any headunit can be used to sound your system. I'm full satisfed with my CDE 135 BT for all options invluded. But I miss an crossover / level for each front & rear output. This option only loaded for sub output. No problem for your system - double check your system impedance.

I have rca cables for both running to my head unit but i think they are split to go in to go into one output

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

I would have to say yes. I used a single RCA cable, but something just didn't sound right. I then purchased a y-split subwoofer cable and there was an obvious difference, at least to me.

No. As far as I know, subs are always a mono signal. There should only be one output from the receiver and input into the sub. This sub has a second RCA jack, but I believe it's an output, and I assume that is for chaining. I just have a regular stereo RCA cable and I'm only using one side for the connection.Hope that helps.Adam.

You can get a sub cable at the electronics store and a splitter. It's. single on one in and red and white on the other. Plug the red and white into ur sub for better sound, then plug the sub cable into the sub connection in the back of the receiver. When u go into the menu of the receiver go into the manual select for speaker options and select 1 sub instead of two.

No , no need to split the digital output , all 5.1 channels encoded over one output. Just get a single high quality RCA cable, no splitter and connect to the digital out to digital in on your receiver.

This is an auxiliary input that replaces rhe cd changer input on your head unit. If the subwoofer works when you play the radio or a cd then it Will still work with this. It sounds like you are trying to use it as an output thought which in that case it won't work

I suppose. It's not really meant for that. It's purpose is to take one analog signal and split it into two. For example, if your receiver has one subwoofer output, but you want to drive two subs. Personally, I would not use it to connect the digital RCA style output from your CD player to your digital RCA style input on your DAC.

As long as you are able to run a signal to the sub from one of the other speakers. This can be done by simply splitting the audio cable going to any main speaker - subwoofer will only require mono input for proper functioning so both red/white rca cable not needed. I do this for my system and works with no issues.

If your receiver has a single rca output then just plug it into one or the other. I used the Left (white) one.

Mono RCA cable. There are subwoofer-specific models available. You only need one channel for the subwoofer. The reason the subwoofer has a L/R input and output is to allow you to use the subwoofer inline with stereo pre-amp cables. Running the subwoofer off of a surround amp with a dedicated subwoofer output makes this feature unnecessary.

Yes, you'll just need an RCA to 3.5 cable. Something like SF Cable, 12 feet 3.5mm Stereo Male to Two RCA Male Splitter Cable

No, no, no. If you have a one subwoofer rca out on your receiver, it goes from there to the left input on the subwoofer. It tells you this is your manual. enjoy

The sub also has both left and right channel RCA plugs, so if your source has an RCA sub out, you can use a standard RCA cable, and just not plug in one side, as most sub sources are mono, with just one plug.
