    Default RCAs to new amp

    Hi all, I have just bought myself a new 4-channel amp for the purpose of running 2 subs. It is a Cadence ZRS-4504, and it will be replacing my Pioneer GM-7300M. Now I already have a sub-out RCA running from my deck to the boot, what I need to know is do I need to split this into 4 RCAs to plug into the Cadence? Or do I just have t plug it into Channels 1-2 or 3-4.

    Also for anyone who is wondering why I bought a 4-channel instead of a mono, its because it was a decent price and also so if I want to go even bigger latter, I can use this to power my other speakers.

    -Cheers, Adrian

    You Do not need to split these wires, you just need to plug it in and bridge between all 4 channels.

    You will need to split the RCAs into 2 pairs. One pair for ch 1-2 and the other pair for 3-4.

    Thanks Holdenboy, thats what I thought. Split the white plug into the two white sockets and the red into the two red sockets. I was fairly certain but since this will be my first self-install I wanted to be certain.
