It breaks down like this -

You have a 4ch and a 2ch.

On the 4 channel, you need to bridge 2 channels (the rear two) so that you can run a pair of speakers as well as ONE sub of it. (should be indicators on the speaker terminals on how to bridge it) and run one of the two subs off it as well as a pair of speakers (pref fronts).

THen bridge the 2ch (502Z) into one channel, to run the other sub.

The reason you cant run both subs off the one amp is that to run the subs you need to set the frequency cutoff to LPF (low pass frequency). You can only do this with the rear channels on a sony amp.

PS sony actually put out some VERY good products over the Late 06/Early 07 period - excellent for their money. Pity is that ur amps were in the series before that, so see how you go.

PS after a brief good run of a year there, sony are now shit again.

Ok so thats basically how you bridge the two channel to run sub B, run the two door speaker off the 4ch FRONT outputs, and run sub A off the 4ch's rear outputs, bridged together.

To bridge the channels, you use the negative of one channel and the positive of another channel. As said, there should be indicators on both the two and four channel amplifiers on which terminals to you.

Then, set the 2ch to low pass frequency (LPF), the rear channels on the 4ch to LPF, and the front two channel son the 4ch to High Pass Frequency (HPF).

In a normal world it would make sense to run both subs off the 4ch, sony only put LPF on the rear channels, and you cant run full frequency through a sub.

Any other dramas send me another PM

actually my friend, if you cared to view the picture of the amp, you will see that it allows LPF on both 1+2 and 3+4

hereha1.jpg

inside the red circles are the filter settings, inside the yellow settings you can see where it says "LPF" on both sets of channels.

set both of these to LPF

then, set the lowpass filter dial to the 80mark on all of the filter dials.

set all of the low boost dials all the way to 0. you dont want these on, coz it will cause distortion

leave all the level dials where they are.

so you need to bridge a sub to each pair. so one sub to 1+2 and the other the 3+4

you will need to split the RCA cables though, from the single pair of subout, to 2 pair. one for each channel.

then use the 2 chan to run the front speakers

fair enough. Most sony amps dont run two LPFs but that definitely makes things easier for you, leigh!

PS lets not be a wanker, now, trism. Not everyone is perfect mate. Try not to sound like such a prick to someone on here who simply answered a PM for help. He asked for advice and a quick sketch and i gave him the info i had. Its great that you tracked down a pic of it and saw that, but you dont need to act like an ass to me about it champ.

I second that motion, trism. Im forever fixing things caused by auto elecs. (wrong guage wire (eg 16GA earth to a 1200W mono, with a 4ga pos).

Standard price to have a 4ch and a 2ch installed (wired and mounted) shouldnt exceed $250 all up.

Try autobarn, supercheap, strathfield.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
