SQ Question

I sent my Nakamichi HU (for repairs) which has not come back yet, but meanwhile I have a question on SQ. If you have subwoofer outputs on the HU, is the subwoofer sound going to be better in quality when you connect this from the HU to the subwoofer amp or will the sound be better if you connect the Line Outs from the main amp to the subwoofer amp's input? The reason why I ask this is because the length of the cable from the HU to the back of the car would be about 10 -15 feet long, whereas the cable from amp to sub-amp would be only a foot or 2 in length, thereby reducing the chances of degrading sound quality. I have very high quality RCA cables (paid about $45 for each) but still have this doubt. Another point is that the sub-amp already has filters that would filter out the high-frequency and only lett the right frequency to pass through depending on the cross over setting, right? I am going to try and see it tonight or tomorrow with my previous HU which also has subwoofer outputs, but would like to know if anyone has done this and can say that it is better to connect amp to sub-amp or HU to sub-amp. Thanks again as always. Mark

sq will 90% of the time be "better" out of the sub-out off the deck... ie ... higher voltagedont be a pet monkey ..use your dmm

i would recommend running from the deck. or from a crossover, if you are really looking for sq look into a 30 band or so eq for your trunk,   run one nice set of rca's and then devide to the amps from there2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR
