    Hi guys

    Right know I have a older Alpine amp and its power 6x9 200W Pioneers and
    I just installed a newer Jensen Head Unit.

    I was thinking of redoing my Trunk, 69 Mustang and Add a Pair of Subwoofers.

    Question: I have one RCA output. Is there a box or something to Add 2

    RCA Outputs to Add another Amp with the Alpine I have now?

    I dont want to spend alot of cash, but what would be the best route for

    me for adding another amp and subwoofers? Should I build my own boxes

    or buy them?

    Thanks
    Again.


    Sorry for the Dumb Questions but Im new with the Car Stereo install.

    You have 2 options to get an extra set of RCA outputs on your deck:
    1) Use a line level adaptor to convert the rear speaker outputs to RCA,but this will add some distortion and generally degrade the sound quality
    2)Just use a couple splitters on the existing RCA's. You won't have level adjustment between the 2 amps but will sound much better.

    The cheapest and easiest option for the subs in to buy the boxes. If you're not experienced at building boxes then this will get you to about 90% perfect.
