Hello, I am trying to hook a second subwoofer to my a/d/s ph15 amplifier with a 642Csi a/d/s crossover and I've been told I need to modify the DIN cable to do so. Channel 5 and 6 are for subwoofers but i want to bridge channel 5 and 6 for 100 watts rms and also bridge channels 3 and 4 at 100 watts rms. So basically I need to make a din cable that takes the signal from channel 5 and 6 and splits it allowing it to be used on channel 3 and 4 so that i have 2 bridged channels running my subwooffers. So what are my options and what all do I need to do such a thing? Here is a diagram of the original DIN layout on the amp:

So what are my options here? thanks

make your own adapter cable with male and female din connectors. rewire the din connector inside the amplifier to suit your needs.

Okay that's what i thought, I just have to make a jumper wire basically? I shouldnt need to worry about extra grounding or anything right?

Use 2 RCA Y adapters.
