Amplifiers and RCA converters

[TomSum68]

Hello,

I have decided the time has come to upgrade the speakers in the grande punto to which i have realised i will need an amplifier!

in the front i have put a set of 240w speakers with a RMS of 120w and in the rear a set of 200w speakers with an RMS of 100w

ive recently bought a 1200w 4 channel Juice JA790 amp

What type of hi/lo RCA converter will i need, is it a 4 channel one with two sets of phonos from it, or will a standard one do with a single set of phonos?

Thanks in advance

Tom

Are you using the standard headunit?

 

[TomSum68]

Yep

Well that's the plan anyway

anybody seen these before?

Would this work with the standard hu?

No mate these have been tried and tested, they do NOT work! ok so you have a 4 channel amp so you need 2 RCA outputs, i bought an RCA converter as i installed a subwoofer with the stock HU. you will need 2 though! from here or halfords for £7 each -

Using a wiring diagram directly attach the RCA converter into the front and rear speaker wires located at the back of the HU, if you need a wiring diagram check out the guides on installing subwoofers, this way you now have 2 RCA outputs to then run to the amp and then onto the speakers.

Do not get a single RCA converter to 4x RCA outputs you will blow your HU so ive been told, you must run 2 RCA converters, one for the front and one for the rear speakers

I hope this helps
