    Alright guys im currently running a kicker 8'' sub and am planning on adding to 10's behind each seat. So here's my problem.

    The back of my head unit only has one plug in for a pair of interconnects which is taken. So what do i do? Im trying to find a pair of piggy back interconnects but i cant.

    Heres basically what the back of mine looks like.

    The red and white plug in is already taken, and i need another red and white for the other amplifier.

    Yes, i have a 8 up front built between the dash and console, and i want to put the 2 10's behind the seat that way its hitting you from the front and from the back at the same time.

    But anyway, if you want to install another, just get a pair of rca splitters (cheapest option) or an electronic crossover

    Electronic crossover would be the best. Have the 8 hitting the higher sub frequency as in 80-120 or so and then then 10s playing 25-80 or somewhere around there. Kind of like a midbass but centralized and not as accurate but it would work

    Well i got this one for my birthday and i will eventually move up to a nicer one. But for now this one gets the job done where its at.

    Well my know-how on these is very low since that 8 was my first sub. So how hard would it be to set up an crossover? And to set it those settings to make it sound the best?

    So say i went the rca splitter rout? Would i still get good sound quality and everything?

    Depending on your amps you can use those high and low pass filters. Otherwise you'd be looking at getting something digital which would be more expensive.
    Just try the splitter out. If you don't like the sound, I'll try to help you out with setting something up
