Kennwood deck DNX 890 - wondering if I can use both. Pre amps to connect amp and 4 speakers and use front speaker line out to add two additional speakers to my dash.
Tundra crew Max w/o JBL
Thanks in advance

While you can, I'd suggest using splitters on the RCA's instead.

Thanks for taking on the question...when you say split rcas you mean at the deck ? After amp don’t have rcas to split. I only have the Kenwood deck and a JL 4 channel amp....
....do you mean connect additional speakers to line out after amp. (shareing front 2 channels)
If I split them after deck I would need an additional amp ?
Thanks again

You can either split them before the deck, or before they go into the amps.
No need for a line output converter this way.

You can do what you are wanting to do. Using splitters would require additional amplification.
What size are the dash speakers? Better yet what vehicle?

Thanks for the correction. I reread the initial post. Originally I thought he was asking about using a line output converter.
