I have the Clarion DRX8575z HU that I've been using for some time. I recently purchased the DPH7500z DSP/EQ/XO. Now I'm unhappy.

The the past I ran dash speakers off the HU front channels, rear fill off the HU rear channels, kicks off an amp from the HU front outputs, and subs off an amp from the HU sub outputs.

Since I've connected the DPH7500z, the front and rear internally amplified channels do not work (ie. are apparently disabled).
Is there a way to reconfigure things so that I can continue to use the amps in the HU? Or am I stuck haviong to buy another amp(s) to run these other speakers?

Any help would be appreciated.

considering the direction your heading with that kind of equip, you should get an additional amp for these speakers... probably a 4 ch amp would be best, match it to what you have, if those match. you will be amazed at what is possible when its all amplified and you have level control over everything...

To anyone who might be interested, I found a solution to my problem. With the DRX8575z you can flip a switch on the HU and the front/back RCA outputs become inputs. In this case, I can feed the signal back into the HU after the DSP and it will provide appropriate output to the high level speaker lines.

HIPHI, thanks for the advice. I'd love to buy more/better amps but my current financial situation makes it very difficult.
