RCA out to eq question

[nktrnl]

Im about to install a Kicker KQ9 eq into my truck. My deck has 3 rca outputs front, rear and sub. If I only hook up the eq to the front channel will I still get the sub bass levels to the eq? Or will I have to run a separate RCA from the deck to the sub amp?

The eq is supposed to control front, rear and sub, Im just not understanding if the front (or rear) rca's put out sub levels also?

Thanks.

Depends on the deck. Front and rear RCA outs usually output full range, but check your deck to be sure.

Some decks have a crossover function built into them, so you may need to turn it off.



So input full range into the EQ, then use the crossover built into EQ for your low pass and high pass.

Thanks 88 LE.

Ive been looking through the owners manual (http://www.dualav.com/i/product/manual/xdvd710.pdf) and the only thing I can find that may relate to any of this would be a part that says "Subwoofer output:
The SUBWOOFER audio output (Blue RCA) is active in all audio modes and must be connected to an external
amplifier."

I guess Ill just do some trial and error when I get the new parts in. I currently have every thing set up with 3 sets of RCAs out of the deck to my amps, but the sound quality is crap, so I ordered the eq. Im also changing out my amps and relocating them at the same time. Taking apart the dash and center counsel on this truck is a nightmare, so the least amount of pulling out and re wiring things the better.

*I know the deck is a crappy deck and I cant expect much from it, but I got it real cheap and other than the sound quality it dose fine for me.
