My other amp for my sub is a Kicker zx400.1 mono and the sub is a RockFord M110S4 200 Watts Rms 4 ohms.....
My question is ......i find this drawing ...and to connect the Head Unit to PS-4 800 what is the best way ...what i have found is
1- Take the the four Speaker Level...and buy a LOC ( Line Output Converter ) SLC-4 Scosche ...and drive the amp
2- Buy a EQ ....and use the output ( 4 RCA ) and drive my amp
3- Buy a Crossover ...with four rca output

ok here goes - see if i got this right.

You have 4 outputs from your head unit right. front and rear, but no sub out.

If this is the case buy a splitter that changes the single rear output to two ouputs - curcuit city has them.

run the one output to your to your 4 channel and the other to your sub. use the volume remote off the sub amp, looks like a telephone jack, to control the sub volume. set your gains and HP / LP (60-80 for the sub)so they blend properly.

If your head unit has no pre outs i would recommend looking for a different unit. Those converters are garbage for the most part unless you send big bucks, and replacing the head unit is cheaper.

Hope this helps.

What I did was use a LOC. and ran those RCAs to a crossover unit. Then those RCA's to your amp.
