not like i was going to be doing it anytime soon, but what would be the easiest way to get a left and right channel on a pair of subs....
i was just dreaming this afternoon about making my dream car stereo system where money was not an option and i though it might sound kinda cool if you could get a left channel and a right channel on some subs...
but my dreaming ended when i started thinking too hard about how i would actually do that. anyone ever try it or have thought about it? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Use a y splitter on the L side to a mono amp and do the same with the right to the next mono amp
two identical amps of course.,Is it possible to get stereo sound that you can hear with low frequencies? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
EDIT, Haha i just glanced at youre user pic and it just looks like youe thinking HMMM stereo subwoofers hmmmm

run the right RCA line to one amp or channel that will run the right sub... then repeat with the left...
It would be kind of pointless for 3reasons... sub bass is non-directional, its usually mixed mono on the recording, and the 2subs will probably be right next to each other negating any stereo effect you could achieve at higher frequencies (which you wouldn't play through subs anyway)

nope the question is really as simple as it sounds...
i was just thinking (like you suggested) of having a splitter put on to my preouts so that i could get both a left and right channel..but then of course i would have to power the subs w/ separate amps. but then i would position them at separate sides of the car in separate enclosures.
i know it sounds kinda pointless, but i was listening to some music the other day that had a lot of channel panning on it and it though it might be cool if that panning was played on the subs cause it would make the car vibrate from one side to the other...
i was just wondering if anyone had enough time on thier hands to try it....

Jimi Hendrix has most of the bass recorded in stereo. Most recordings the bass is mono so you won't gain anything there. There are a few cars running around with stereo bass. I heard Anthony Davis's Contour and I am pretty sure his subs were in stereo, but I couldn't hear anything that jumped out and said "Wow, stereo subbass!"
