    2 vs 4 preamp outputs

    I don't really know a lot about head units. What is the difference between having a head unit with 2 preamp outputs vs 4? I'm running the head unit to a 4 channel amp if that matters.

    something to insulate amp from metal on seat?

    I ran wires from the rcas in the back of the hu and grounded it to one the screws on the hu. The noise is gone. My hu is a kenwood. I never had a problem with engine noise before the remote wire melted. I have since put in a new amp, remote wire, power wire, ground wire and front speakers.

My last amp had a burn spot where the remote wire went into it and my remote wire ended up being bad. Could that have caused damage to my stereo? Im not sure how to check though.

    something to insulate amp from metal on seat?

    I replaced one set of rcas with stingers but the other set is a cheap set. Im not sure what u mean by running the speakers in the opposite direction? I have only done basic car audio stuff.
