15 moomba mondo - adding Bow Speaker

I posted earlier but did not see my reply so lets try again,

I did order the Kicker KXM400.4 but have a question on install

since Fusion only has 1 output would the connection go

from fusion radio to existing 2 channel amp, then take the output from 2 channel to a RCA splitter and then to the AMP1 and AMP2 input on the new 4 channel?

Mike, what's wrong with solid?

It will break. Solid conductor is not intended for mobile uses as its not flexible.

Any tech support from the retailer?

Does the existing Kicker amp have a pre-amp output? Which amp is it, can you tell? If it is one with a preamp out that is the best way to get signal to the KXM400.4. Otherwise, a set of y-cords will be needed to split the head unit signal to both amps. On the KXM400.4 there is a switch that allows a sinle set of RCA cables to drive all channels of the amp. On the FADER switch, simply push th button to the IN position instead of OUT.

I would have responded sooner, but somehow I did';t see this thread til this morning.
any questions, just holler

Digging on my data, I believe you have a Kicker KX200.2 driving the tower speakers. Sound right? If so there is for sure an output on the KX200.2 for driving an additional amp. So, yes, just run an RCA cable from teh output of the KX200.2 to the AMP1 input of the KXM400.4.
FADER button in....
That should get you genning,...

Good pic, and that will work. I think you'll be happier if you installed a line driver to get the preamp voltage up though. Kicker's dual zone control would be an easy solution.

Edit: here is your pic
