I have a wiring question for you guys, I have mixed answers from people and would like to know the right way or at least a way that is pretty safe for doing the following:
I am trying to wire up my factory head unit's amp's output signals to my LC2i then to a monoamp then to an aftermarket sub. I will be keeping my stock factory speakers except for the factory sub which will be wired up to the monoamp.
I have been told that it's better to get signals from both left and right main door speakers which contain low to mid frequencies, on top of this I have been told to get the sub signal as well in here to get the really low lows. In total 3 signals that I would need to input into the LC2i which only has 2 inputs, L and R.
1. Is it possible to tap into these 3 signals and combine them all together into 1 input to the LC2i?
2. If I do this, will my existing door panel speakers (Left and Right) get affected by this wiring, essentially im shorting all 3 signals together? Will the speakers be loaded way too much due to varying signals from the factory amp?
3. Do I need to wire in some sort of passive mixer circuit to help the original signals going to Left and Right speakers get back to normal, putting a 10k ohm resistor on each tapped line before it combines into 1 line?
4. Does it make a difference if the input impedance of the LC2i is 20k ohms when adding these resistors?
Thank you for the help in advance.
