Hi all,
I've recently upgraded my Alpine head unit and I'm a little disappointed to see that they have dropped the 3 x preouts (front, rear & sub) in favor of a 2 x set up (front & rear/sub).
Alpine tech support states "the new set up is not designed to run a system as advanced as yours":
Front Components
Rear Coaxials
12" Sub
6ch amp
(funny, i though this was a pretty basic system!?!)
The best solution I've come up with so far is to dedicate the Rear preout to the Sub ch on the amp and then use y-leads on the Front preout, splitting it across the Front and Rear chs on the Amp.
This results in the loss of Fader control and, as my rear coaxials run louder, I cannot adjust the dedicated ch gain as, due to the split, it now controls both front and rear on one side.....
I'm pretty sure there's a way around this, i just cant figure it out.
Any help appreciated!
