Well actually i have the JK 500/5 and i want to put it on my interior speakers and 1 10" L7.... but dont kno how to get two pairs of jacks out of one rca converter..can i split it without any feedbak or other complications...and how do u think the amp would sound on the L7....appreciate all the input

Are you kidding? You are planning to put 100w to an L7? Come on, sell that L7 and give it to someone who will treat it properly. There is no point to having such a well engineered sub when you are only going to use 10% of its capability. Either buy an additional amp or get a more efficient, less power hungry sub. To properly power that sub you need an 800-1000w amp. As far as splitting the RCA's, yes you can do that. Won't work if you have the bose system though, you'll need to replace the speakers and wiring as well.

I'm not familar w/ that amp, but most should have a bridge mode so you shouldn't be splitting anything....

If you must split RCA's then I'd question your set-up.

i have a 500/1 on the L7's now but i dont need it to be that loud..and i dont want to pull that much current from my battery if i run both amps. Do you think my car can handle both amps. RIght now i have a 2 farad cap on there.

2 farads for a 500 watt amp? Overkill anyone?

splitting RCAs is okay, but u might want to rig up some diode & resistor circuitry so sound quality won't suffer.

just to clarify U have a L7 or W7
L7 is kicker square
W7 is a JL sub

I have 2 solobaric Kicker L7's 10"

2 farads for 500watt amp is not really overkill in my opinion. It'll just store a little more power than a 1 farad. Recommended is at least 1farad per 1000watts rms. It does not hurt to have a big capacitor in your system. I'm using a 15farad for around 1600watts-2000 rms.

thats what crossed my mind for a sec also

but a 500/1 on the L7 10"
AND A 500/5 for the interior your saying ?
confused other post I see you have 2 10"connected
2 capacitors doesnt seem like a overkill to me

How do i hook up the interior speakers if i have a bose system currently.... do i just run a whole new set of wires to each speaker....and will that rca converter do the job for two amps.

ok, the 500/5 jl amp is 100x2 front, 25x2 rear, and 250x1 sub. that amp is way underpowered for one, let alone 2 L7's. you would use 2 loc's, (line output convertors) to get the signal to the amp, so you can retain your fader control from the head unit. you would need to figure out which wires were which on the output side of the factory amp, and splice into them to get sound to your speakers, either that or run all new speaker wires which would be a royal pain in the butt.

honestly, if you dont know what you are doing, take it to a professional and save yourself some major headaches.
