Mono Signal
Okay i have a KDC-X794 headunit and a Hifonics BXI-2010d which is asking for a mono signal to the subs. It says to run a Y adapter from one of the channels of the headunit to send a mono signal to the amp. I've skimmed over my user manual on the headunit and it doesn't say which channel " left or right " it recommends to kick a mono signal from..So it shouldn't matter correct ?

Your right, left or right channel will work. It doesnt matter which one you use.

A question i just though of also is if you're head unit pushes 4 v out the pre out then does it drop it to 2V when you connect it to the amp, or it's a mono so it doesn't drop ? My fix is going to be a Knu Konceptz Krystal Cable Subwoofer RCA 4 Meter http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...prodID=KRY1.4M
And this Y splitter right at the amps http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...rodID=KRY-1F2M

I just looked up the specs for both the KDC-X794 headunit and a Hifonics BXI-2010d. All you will need is a 2 channel rca cable. (No Y splitter needed) Your stereo has a mono subwoofer out which consists of two rca plugs. The mono block amp also has an input of 2 rca plugs.
Order this: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDe...odID=KARSS2.6M. This is the 6 meter/ 18 foot cable. depending how you route the wire you could use the shorter one. As for me, all my installs i've done I always use the 18 footer to be on the safe side. BTW there is no voltage drop if you use a Y splitter. You will have 4 volts coming out of each channel, but you dont have to worry about this in your setup. Hope this helps |
