Both excellent, you can use an RCA splitter for the pioneer, personally I would choose the Alpine.

I have that current Pioneer Headunit
Its a Truely amazing headunit
However!
Im having huge trouble getting my front speakers and SUB running because of it.
The front speakers only play Bass frequicies because of somthing to do with the pre-outs
Hey How does the RCA splitter work?

RCA is an output which allows you to connect a sub to the headunit.... usual the headunit then has adjustable settings just for the RCA to make it more bassy and louder without adjusting the settings of your door speakers :D

Yea...Seems like the one preout is stopping me from having my speakers and Sub running off the same out. I think I need 2 sets of Pre-outs for my headunit
1 set for the front input on the amp
1 set for the Sub
Well I'll I guess I'll just wire the AMP to the Sub for now and run the speakers off the Headunit till I get a new headunit...Sign
Thank you redline

are u running the sub and speakers off the same amp?
what u need to do is get 2 amps, one for ur door speakers, and one for ur sub....
connect ur normal outputs for speakers to one amp (which will be for the door speakers)
and connect the RCA to ur sub amp.

I dont think I'll be going down the road of getting two AMPs, Ive got a 660w JBL GTO AMP 5 channels, plenty of juice for some front Coaxials and a SUB
However the One preout messes with the frequiencies so I cant run both
Its the headunit really...So Im just gonna make do with the kit ive got now and save up to buy another Headunit with 3 preouts to future proof myself lol
Good idea?
Thanks again

tbh i still dont think u need another head unit! the head unit should still have standard speaker outputs (the ones which are like a black box which you plug straight into the back of the stereo) run them wires to you amp for your door speakers, and then use the one preout for the sub.#]

Well I had a guy who sets up car audio have a looka t it, and he told me that the audio signal was leaving the headunit as low frequincies. But I'll give the splitter ect a go
Thanks again
