joshehulbert Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hello- I am in the process of installing an 8000nex with a idatalink maestro Rr in my 2011 gmc yukon that has the factory Bose 5.1 amp. Wiring up the harness I got the connections all done for the front and rear RCA outs, as well as the sub. What I don't see is where to put the center channel RCA on the 8000. I have the RCA for the center from the maestro, but don't see where it should go. Anyone else tackle this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhren Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 The NEX units do not have a center channel. AFAIK, they are only 2.1 systems regardless of having front/rear/sub left and right.. they are not 6 discrete channels. When you have a surround sound source, the discreet channels of the source are down mixed to 2.1. That said, you may be able to find a hardware converter... but I don't know of any offhand.

Thanks, makes sense. I might poke around and see if I can find a converter. Not a big deal to me honestly, more just curious if I was missing something. Thanks!
