Rca Y Splitters. Are They Ok To Use?

[Munkyb0y]

I have an Android / WinCE head unit with front and rear RCA outputs.

The problem is the Android side of things only seems to output to the front RCA's (FL+FR).

(i can only select - left - right - two - off - for the android os sound output in the unit's main options)

The (crappy) WinCE side uses front and rear RCA's.

This goes for the normal speaker wires too.

Obviously I want to play music and media through the Android OS and utilize the dozens of awesome players and equalizers.

Plus this incarnation of WinCE looks and works like ass.

So I figured I only have one option.

Split the Front L RCA into 2 (Front L + Rear L into amp) and the Front R RCA into 2 (Front R + Rear R into amp).

I figure as long as left and right are separate, i can adjust fader (gain) at the amp. And freq for fronts at the amp too.

Will the sound quality, signal, etc suffer by using this method?

Is this a no-no?

It'll be fine.

[Munkyb0y]

that was easy!

so splitting wont drop the signal voltage(?) too much

[niZmO_Man]

It will drop (basic electrical physics) but it'll still work. What is the pre-out voltage your head unit provides?

it's a china double din unit, so lets assume it's not real high.
