As of today I am a new member to this forum. I have completely searched this forum and now I'm in need of help. I have currently made my iPad dash kit and is now looking to replace my pioneer avh3600bhs with the iPad mini. I'm good at following directions. Im just wondering how do I wire the iPad to my 4 speakers and my sub. I have 2 12's in a box and an alpine 445u for the 4 speakers and a kicker 1200.1 for my subs.

Simply put you need an adapter that utilizes the charging port/av out or the aux/headphone plug on the iPad that gives you rca out and you will have to split the rcas to go to your amps and use a bass knob for the sub control. Pac or many other vendors sell the iPad adapters to rca that also give you charging. There are sooooo many levels of designing a system like this depending on budget the sky is the limit.

Would I split the L/R RCA out from the 3.5 adapter for my Subs and the other for the KTP445u Amp?
