Hi,

I want to connect a head unit to an amp and then the amp to two speakers.

On my head unit I have an RCA output that is labeled Rear RCA. Assume that the channels on the head unit are already connected to other speakers. To connect the two new speakers, do I plug the rear RCA into the low input RCA on the AMP and then the two speakers to the bridege output located on the AMP? The two additional speakers that I want to hook up are enclosed speakers. Each has a sub, a mid, and a tweater.

Do you have crossovers built in to the enclosed speakers??

No, there is not. If this is a problem how should I wire the speakers?

I have a 4ch Head unit, 2 channel amp, with 4 speakers.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am using all pyle audio equipment:

Head unit has 4 channels totaling 200 watts. So each channel is 50 Watts. In addition there is an RCA output.

I have a 2 channel 600 Watt amp

Pair of 5 1/2 front speakers each 150 watts

Pair of enclosed 4 1/2 speakers each 250 watts.
