Replacing the Clarion XMD1 head unit on my 400 sedan bridge with a Fusion MS-RA70NSX head unit. The boat has 8 speakers and a sub woofer. 4speakers outside, with the sub. Four more inside. The Fusion has two zones. I want Zone 1to be outside, Zone 2 to be inside. The Zone 1 RCA outputs from the Fision feed an amp, which drives my outside speakers (2 connected in parallel on both L and R) and the subwoofer. Great. Zone 1 is designed.
I want Zone 2 to be driven off the speaker level (not RCA) outputs of the Fusion. There are 4 Zone 1 and 4 Zone 2 speaker level outputs (L+, L-, R+ and R-).
My question is this: can I connect the two L inside speakers in parallel to the Fusion’s Zone 2 Left speaker level outputs (and drive them directly from the RA70N)? And the two R speakers in parallel to Zone 2’s right speaker level outputs? There’s nothing in the literature saying whether the Fusion can support 2ohm output impedances (which is what I’ll have with two 4-ohm speakers in parallel).
My alternative is to use the Zone 2 RCA jacks and go to an additional 2 channel amp for the indoor speakers. But I don’t want to add an amp for indoor speakers if I don’t have to.
