How do I split the signal coming out if the HU? I doubt it does it is the factory MA200
you will need some more splitter cables... you on y have one set of out puts so spltity that to the JBL splitter cables and then to the other amp splitter cables... that prolly about the limit without boosting the line level outs...

I already have splitters. Can you turn 1 set from the HU into more than 2 sets? 😬

yes but your starting to get to the limit of what you can do without boosting the line level voltage on the RCA output.... some head units let you boost the signal strength on the Line level out RCA jacks... but you should be ok just adjusting the amp input gain....

@84rzv500r I'm back....lol. I have 2 of those. But I can seem to figure out how I can make 3 rcas even with these. I currently have 2 from splitting the one obviously. I am fooling with then and just can't wrap my head around it🤔

Nevermind I think I got it. I use those at the HU and split it right from there. I have an extra set that came with installing kit so that will give me 3. Duhhhh

Glad you got it figured out...it can be a bit confusing if you're new at it.

Definitely was, hooking up the tower speakers was easy cuz it's a small amp. It was a struggle 😆 for sure. But hey I learned a lot in the end!!

One last question, what should these be set to for the cabin speakers for best results. I'm gonna have to adjust the jbl amp placement or unscrew it and screw it back down because I can't reach these settings with the sub so close.....lol. After further review I can probably put the jbl amp running the same direction as the MTX right next to it
