New Speakers - Polk DB6501?

RedShifter · 08-24-2014, 09:01 PM

Thanks for all the replies!

I actually do have the RCA's going to the sub out jacks. Where am I suppose to put them? What if I want to add a sub in the future?

I have a kenwood kac729s amp if that helps.

do you have front audio out jacks or is it just two rca sub outs on your radio? if that's the case you're not completely doomed, you just need a LOC to get RCA outs from the regular white-white/black and gray-gray/black front speaker wires coming from your HU.

I have a Kendwood DNX8120 head unit. There are no front audio jacks. But there is a plethora of outputs behind the unit. Are they no other alternatives other than getting a line out converter as you suggested?

Here is a stock photo of one of the preouts

When he says front, he means the set of RCAs labeled "Front" in the photo you attached. Front is not referring to their location on the head unit - the connection is going to be in the back.

JARblue thanks for the clarification. So I suppose I can just take them out of the sub out and put them in the "front" then I should be good to go? No need for line out converter correct?

Yes, depending on how you have the internal crossover set-up, the front pre-outs should be full range. This should solve your issue.

Bingo

Assuming everything else is set up properly, as mentioned.

Thanks guys! You have been extremely helpful.

But I have to ask...what if I want to hook up a sub. How would I go about doing that since there is only one "line in" on the Kenwood amp. Seeing how that is already going to be occupied by the "front" output from behind the head unit for the component speakers.
