Miscell Stereo Q's

You can make the parallel connection at the amp with each of the 4 speakers making a home run to the amp (more wire) or make the parallel connection at the mid-ship speakers. Each aft speaker is wired to the mid, then to the amp. This takes less wire.

Theres something about the RCA runs from the 420 to the HT-6 thats bugging me. How about taking the Syn-4 and HT-1 amps, etc, out of the schematic and lets look at just the HT-6, LC and 420.

[Dave K]

I actually changed the sync to a HT-4.

I'll post shortly

[Dave K]

Here the plan cleaned up.

How does it look, what should I be changing??

[Dave K]

These are the three amps I have.

HT-6 Wet Sounds HT-6 Full Range 6 Channel Class D Amplifier
HT-1 Wet Sounds HT-1 Class D Subwoofer Amplifier
HT-4 Wet Sounds HT-4 Full Range 4 Channel Class D Amplifier

The HT-4 it looks pretty straight forward.....
This gives me 300 per speaker correct??

Hey Mike,
Which is a better way or does it matter??

[Dave K]

Would this option work? I think its the same except I have the left/right split in 3 at amps

[chpthril]

1) you do not need to split the audio signal between 1/3 right & 2/4 left. The HT-6 will only need a single RCA set into 1 & 2 and it will pass to all chnls.

2) split the in-boat out signal right at the RCA and an RCA as short as needed to input side of the LC and then from the output of the LC as long as needed to the 5 and 6 inputs of the HT-6 to control the bow speakers.

That looks like the HT-2 illustration, but yes, the HT-4 will be bridged with only a single set of RCA cables to the amp.

Thanks Mike, for all your help. This would be what you are suggesting for me?

In the owners manual it says:

2/4 Channel Input Button – Adjusting this button to 2 channel input and connecting only the front inputs allows the amplifier to have 4 channel output.
5/6 Channel Input Button – Adjusting this button turns on/off the RCA inputs for channels 5 & 6.

The 4 ch button should be in the out position to enable 4 channels and the 5/6 channel input button should be in the off position so these channels pick-up the signal from the 1 set of RCA's plugged in to the 1/2 inputs?

Bingo!

Well my topics is Miscell stereo questions, so I think I'm making the best of it. LOL

When hooking up the Rev 10's should I solder the plug-in/pigtail to the speaker wire or should I just use a butt connector and shrink tube?

That sounds right without looking. You'll know it when you power the system up. if the dash and or bow speakers dont work, just change those settings.
