embarrassed to ask: subwoofer wiring?

Use the speaker level inputs on the amp if it has them. Otherwise you need to convert the speaker levels to RCA's.
If your amp has speaker level inputs, you just tap into the rear left or right + and - speaker wire. (Only need one if you run single mono sub)
If the amp has a built in sub crossover you can trun that on so no high frequencies go to the sub.

LESLIEx317537 don't say something stupid just right or just left is not mono right and left combined is mono if only use one side you will only get half of the sound

What are you talking about?

I didn't say somthing stupid. Lets look at the facts.

I have a Kenwood amp that is stereo (2ch) and it says to hook up the left rca to the left rca in on the amp, the right rca is not used for a mono amp setup.

Bass is not directional. What is int he left channel will be in the right channel. Most people do not make music with bass balance.

So please, unless you wanna get flamed, don't say I said somehting stupid. I was trying to help and I hate when I see a post like yours above.

I have a Audigy 2 NX 5.1 digital setup going in my car with 2 amps. Any questions?

#1 rule. n00bs should not say that old school members say stupid things.

Half the sound is the dumbest thing I heard so far. What's that mean?
Bass is encoded in both channels fool.

An inductor will pass low frequencies and block high frequencies, a capacitor will pass high frenquency and block low frequency.

alright so my plan is hijack my two rear speaker wires from the stock head unit, splice them and send both channels into a line converter then to amp etc. The reason I want to do this is because if I only use one rear channel wont that mean that some songs wont be played out fully in stereo for the subs? Well anyways, If i splice into them and then also attatch the original speaker connections so that the rear stock speakers still play aswell, will that alter voltage, ohms....... anything bad gonna come out of that?? Is it bad to have the rear speaker outputs from the head unit running into a four-way splice?
