RCA "Y" adapters???
Has anyone noticed a degrade in SQ when using RCA cable "Y" adapters on
the line level signals? thanks, Garrett |

no, they should work fine unless you split the signal many times...

RCA "Y" adapters???
Is there a voltage drop, current drop, etc. when Y cables are used? I
am referring to just the splitting part, not the additional connector and whatever resistance it brings to the electron party.

RCA "Y" adapters???
there shouldnt be much of a voltage drop at all...

What about if you use one to combine two channels, instead of split? Any
difference? Oh, and do you need to use resistors, or does it make any difference Eddie? (not trying to argue, just wondering your opinion as I am not sure myself....)

i would not attempt to use Y cables as a combiner. this could create a short
circuit,even though of very low voltage, and might harm the head unit after a while.. "ãÞ0çã|ÿÞs" wrote in message ... What about if you use one to combine two channels, instead of split?

using a y adapter will cause decrease voltage to each amp. Example/ 1v
signal will split into 0.5 and 0.5volts to each amp. You'll use much more gain on the amps to compensate and some amps wont work properly unless it is within a certain level. |

They voltage does not simply split in half. If your using one or 2 splits your fine, you will not notice a difference. In fact your gain settings probably wont change at all if all else is equal.

RCA "Y" adapters???
What if I connect the grounds with resistors or whatever?
"Eddie Runner" wrote in message ... Dont use a Y to combine chennels... By doing so will make EVERYTHING MONO! Y connectors are not a one way street, the 'Y'ed signals will feed back up the line making EVERYTHING MONO!!

many amps have combiners built in
many electronic xovers have combiners built in dont do it with Y connectors Actually, it sont hurt anything go ahead and try it.... this may be the best way for you to learn....
