Got it for $100 from a friend here on campus. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-VS129hRmUPv/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=2064KX3504 Looks like it'll still do the job. Only thing is I have one set of rca's coming from my HU. And there are spots for 2 sets. What exactly does that mean...

In many case some amp have also a output to add another amplifier without passing another RCA from the HU (its a passthrought, not affect by the crossover or the gain) 1998.5 Toreador Red/Midnight Blue Contour SVT - #5912/6535 - DOB - 05/11/1998 - RU-3530/CTA Intake Pipe MSDS Heaser/Y-Pipe Magnaflow #10435 9mm Ford racing SPEC Stage one/Spec Alum.

My RCA's are running from the outputs on the back of the monitor, to my 2 channel amp (which I sold) And my left and right speakers were combined and then powered from the amp. (Yeh, I know all of you SQ buffs say it's dumb and that's fine.) But my rear left speaker wire is fried or something. And I have no clue how to run new wire through the car to it. Plus that would involve pulling out my in dash/monitor ultimately ending in a large@ss amount of unnecessary. So I'm used to not having a fader, I can deal with that. So are you telling me I can't use all 4 channels of the amp? I originally planned on powerin my components (all 4 sets, the doors) with "amp 1" the front left and right channels. Then bridging the "amp 2" to run my polk sub. So is amp 2 not gonna have any signal running to it since I only have one pair of rca's? If so can I buy a splitter? (yes i know it kills the signal and what not)

Confused Nevermind, just saw your original post stating your replacing your old amp and only want to use this one to run the whole system. Last edited by Pienstars; 09/23/05 11:34 AM.
