How many amps can i run off of my head unit?
I have a PIONEER DEH-3100UB. I am running 2 amps at the moment and was wondering if I can run more to it or if their is connections which will allow me to add more! Also, do some head units have more plug ins for more amps or do they all have the same amount?
most of the higher priced HU’s have 3 sets, front/rear/sub, but many have two or just 1. That really doesn’t determine how many amps can be connected. You can use external sound processors that will receive 1, 2, or 3 inputs and give you multiple outputs, or you can use y cables to split one output into 2, and there are also amps that have rca pass-throughs so you can connect one amp to another.
they usually all have connections for one or 2 amps…but u can make/buy splitters and add as many amps as u want…as long as u wire the vehicle to handle the juice flow and wire the amps correctly
