hi i'm roberto and i have a problem setting up my amp and i have a very low budget.
this is what i got:
- JVC KD-AR400 receiver , 50x4 ,2 rca outputs.
- FRONT SPEAKERS: SONY XS-V1330a 180w.
- REAR SPEAKERS: KENWOOD KFC 6979ie 240w
- AMP BOSS RT-945 5 channel amp
- KENWOOD 12" SUBWOOFER
the problem that i have is that i don't know how to individualize the sub because my receiver only has 2 rca and not the sub one, right now i have the sub wired with my rear speakers.
what i need is one channel for every speaker that's why i bought this amplifier.
thanks for your quick reply.
roberto.

Most 5 channel amps are constant on the sub channel, in laymans terms, if you run you RCA's to the 4 channel inputs, the sub channel will still have output. Since you only have 2 outputs from the HU, it will be fine. The sub output is nice so you can control the sub from the HU, but if you have the remote that comes w/ that amp, you can use that. There should be no problem hooking up the front & rear RCA's to the inputs on the amp and running the subs fromt he sub channel. Check to see if the amp has a setting for running it in different modes, most do(* 3, 4, 5 channel operation.). I have owned several 3 and 5 channels amps and have never seen one that did not have a constant output on the sub channel. Another note, most have seperate gain controls for each channel, so you will have to set ea one.

check the switches on the side. Often there is one to select what input you want to use for the sub.
