Oh and the 2 inputs / outputs, will not work at the same time. They are wired internally, to be completely separate of each other. So you only have 1 input and output that are really usable on the unit.

It can not fade your subs.

It won't work if you want the rears ran separately, or if you want the ability to fade from front to rear.

And splitting 2 RCA outs into 10 connections is going to KILL your input signal to your amps.

But it can be done.

Take one output and split it for the right side, and another for the left. Even easier if you wire it like Joe said to do with your amps.

Or....

You can still do what Joe said with your amps, but use the EQ for the front right and left only. <---- what I would do.

That EQ isn't designed for a car with 14+ speakers. Its designed to be used in a simple setup with comps in the front and subs in the back.

I still think you will be 10000 times happier if you sell everything, or almost everything and use the money to install a simple system with a good set of comps, and subs.

What is it with all the 5 channel amp questions? Here is my take. Use each amp for Right and Left. Then use the 4 channels for your right stage from one amp, then the other four channels for the Left side. Then use each of the sub channels for your subs...one per sub. So what if you only have 150w per sub. People have done a lot more with less.

If you are not willing to go that route, then consider this. Take out your 14 speakers, take them, and the amps, and sell them. Then take the money from the sale and use it for a very good set of component speakers (2-way only), then purchase yourself a couple of 10's. Now use the rest of the money for Two good amps! One 4 channel amp for your components, and a mono amp with about 500-1000 watts. Wire your two subs mono and then wire to the amp.

You will have a slamming system that will actually sound good.

Jeremy and I are SQ people. If you want really loud, then go with Bill Wolf (BWCad01) here. He is the stud of spl.

That is what I think will work best for you. But then again, I don't know you from Adam, so what is best for you may not be for someone else.
