Running sub/amp from the RNS510, anyone?

[VC]

anyone done it? is there a definitive guide to creating a lineout? 

[Hedge]

There are lineouts shown on the back LO-R, LO-L and the Earth.

Never done it or seen it done. It might be down to you being a Pie 'n' Ear VC.

Can you get a picture of the rear of the rns?! Just want to see what Hedge is refering to...

i want to get the pie out and an rns in its place 

but fear the loss of the sub, and i simply dont understand the witchcraft that is car/audio electrics

i'll get up in the loft later and take a shot of the back of the rns

I have a sub and amp run from my  RNS510 unit, i had to buy an adapter for the back of the unit not sure what it does but i think it enables an RCA to be run from the back of the unit.

I had it done at Source Sounds in Sheffield: 0114 2571550

Probably quite simple to make your own lead.

Use the connections on the back, connected with a couple of repair wires and soldered into some RCA type female connectors.

^^^ that looks to be within my skillset  

soldering and physically making one isnt an option for me...if i actually want it to work  

so that is something i can simply plug into the back or the rns and then add the cables that are currently in addition going into the back of my pioneer?

thankyou for the link btw  

[vRStu]

The only 'difficulty' might be that you already have a plug in that location so you need to swap the wires from one plug to another.  Pretty simple tbh.

cool, gunna order one and then panic about the next stage when it arrives  

EDIT: £5.99 delivery!  does is come gift wrapped in gold leaf 

must only be a small jiffy envelope surely

Bugger, i sold my amp and sub on Sunday because i didnt think it was possible to run an amp off the RNS.

One problem with that connector is it doesn't have a remote amp output, so although you can get an RCA signal out of the unit you have no way of turning the amp on with the stereo. You could get around this by wiring the remote input on the amp to some sort of switched +12V when you fit it, but it's not a great solution. I used a Line Output converter with a remote amp output to hook up an amp to my RNS-510 and the results are really impressive, but it is a bit of a fiddly job...

If you spliced into the connector labelled amp in Monte's photo here:

Would that give you a remote swtich for the amp?
