Head unit compatibilty with active sub.

[TbM]

Honestly, I would just put both on there.. as the other dude said, it'd half the voltage output from the headunit if you only put one on.. and the chance of it being one channel per coil is pretty high... I'd just not risk it and put a Y splitter.. it's only like 5 dollars extra.. Not really that big a deal is it? just y split at the back of the headunit (pretty messy, but you don't have speaker amp yet, so it should be fine) and then normal rca out from there.
I'm more of a 'why not spend the extra dosh if it'll make it sound better, or reduce the chance of it sounding like ass' or something along those lines.
Better to have spent the extra money on the y splitters than to have not and been disappointed with it... Imo, i would do it anyway.

I would like to know how its halving the voltage? The Hu in question only has 1 output so if your splitting that your not doubling your voltage. the amp will still be recieving the rated output weather its recieving a single or split rca.

Why do you think the chance would be high that its got a channel going to each coil? It would present problems if your running a set of rca's(L and R) because when you have low end playing on 1 channel and not the other you will only be driving one of the coils where as if you have it bridged it will run both. Setting it up in bridge makes it more flexable interms of how its used so i dont know why they wouldnt do it.

eh, meant to put in brackets after that 'well, it makes sense anyway' but eh, I'd much rather spend the extra $5... it's seriously not that much for a splitter... this coming from somebody who spent thousands on an amp alone though >.>

I know its not much but i didnt see the point in buying one if its not nessicary. now that the sub model has been posted up ive had a bit of a search(BZ 100) and its not clear on weather its running in bridge or 2ch so he would either have to verify with the seller how its setup or buy a y splitter and test too see himself. Im quite sure it will be bridged tho.

Yeah, judging by the specs (60x2) or whatever.. it does seem like it's bridged :/

Bridged or not Bridged it would be wise to use the Splitter as your intensions were.

let us know how it goes when its all setup.

Off the topic ... just wanted to share wit you

my old setup on my old GTR32 was:

AMp:
2 x SOUNDSTREAM Tarantula XXX-10000D 10000W mono block

Sub:
2 x Earthquake HoleeS-15 15' 15000w Sub / 7,500 Watts RMS - custom boot box.

Incar:
PPI 4x400 4ch amp to run - 6.5inch MD Quarts front & Rockford Fosgate 6x9 Rears.

too old for too much bass now ...lol ..

im just happy with some high fidelity sounds ... a pleasure for the ears.

sounds decent
I'm still saving up for my fronts >.>
Gonna purchase some infinity kappa perfect 6.1's from a friend.. but my amp is a rockford power1000 lol. fun times xD only running one type s 12" sub :3

you will still need to hook up both L/R RCA's to be in bridge mode. or else only half of the signal/ output voltage power will be experienced. - I.E 5V preout will be half to 2.5V.

I would like to know how its halving the voltage?
The Hu in question only has 1 output so If it were say 5v output for example, splittling it only give you 5v on each split, doesnt double the voltage, weather the amp is recieving one 5v line or a split its still recieveing the same voltage.
