Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I tried searching, but did not find the answer to this. I'm installing a Rockville Rockghost powered sub, a Pioneer GM-D1004 mini amp to drive the speakers (45 watts X 4 RMS), and all new speakers (matched to Pioneer RMS) in a 2016 Kia Forte5 SX. I want to keep the stock stereo, so I know I'll be using speaker level inputs for both amps.
My question is: for the sub, should I use the signal from the stereo (split the front speaker signal and send to both amps), or should I use the stronger signal coming out of the Pioneer amp? Would using the output of the Pioneer amp have a negative effect on the signal to the speakers or damage either of the amps? Is there even an advantage to using the higher wattage signal? Thanks in advance!
