Here are the links to both. http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=SWE-1242&lang=en&tab=F http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?t=2&products_id=47. The amp has four total speaker connections (two speakers, Speaker A and Speaker B) I have a diagram posted, is this how i should hook these subs up? Should i simpily hook one sub to Speaker A and the other to Speaker B? |

New member Username: Spyder22Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-07 | Ok so I got that part down thanks. But now i have another question. How do i hook the radio to the amp? The amp has two RCA inputs. |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 4690 Registered: Oct-05 | since your radio has RCA outputs, run your RCA's from the deck's RCA outputs (just plug them in) directly into your amps RCA Inputs. |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 4696 Registered: Oct-05 | yep, deck nowadays all come with pre-amp subwoofer outputs. most deck have 2 and 3 sets of RCA outputs now, so you can hook 2 and 3 amps up. Or some will have dedicated outputs like rear and front plugs |
New member Username: Spyder22Post Number: 6 Registered: Mar-07 | Ok so call me annoying. But i got another question. What if i just have a stock radio and it has no subwoofer outputs. Thats what im currently stuck with becuase i dont have a new radio yet BTW: THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP |
