Front/rear high pass, using a 2 channel amplifier for mono sub bass

Channels 1/2:

The  combination  of  a  2  and  a  4  channel  amplifier,  utilizing  their  built  in 

- HI PASS: 100 Hz

crossovers, makes it a snap to put together a full system with front and rear 
highs, with mono sub bass.

LOW PASS: N/A

- Using good quality RCA cables, feed the front and rear outputs of a head unit to 

- HI PASS: 

100 Hz

the inputs of the 4 channel amplifier as shown. 

- LOW PASS: 

N/A

- Also connect the 

LINE OUT

 of the 4 channel amplifier to the 

LINE INPUT

 of the
