generally speaking you should use specific car audio RCA's. they will be shielded and should protect from external noise like alternator whine, etc from being heard. check the classifieds or knukonceptz. you can get quality rca's pretty cheap that way.oo alright thanks for clearing that up, lol ya im going to be using 4guage as my power wire
i was wondering about the rca's too do they have to be special or can i just go down to radio shack or w/e and pick some up there
Yup, you will need zero noise fully shielded wires like those from StreetWires or similar...specific to car audio...if you use cheapo Radio Shack you will pick up all sorts of noise...a car is a very noisy place for audio electronics...and make sure your RCA's are as far away from your amp power wires as possible....same with the speaker wire...12 gauge minimum on speaker wire! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gifoo alright thanks for clearing that up, lol ya im going to be using 4guage as my power wire

im assuming its a 4 channel and you are looking to make it a 2 channel? yes, as long as its bridgable. some amps are not, most i would say are.lol thanks for the input //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
