2 channel input or 4?

[Kaczman 10+ year member]

I have a rockford 800.4 amp, and I was wondering if there was any quality or power loss by running one set of RCA's and setting it to 2 channel input, or is it better to run 2 sets of RCA's and run it 4 channel input? Thanks.

There wont be enough difference to bother you.

On that note...you ever take care of all of those problems you have been having?

No noticeable difference at all? I fixed all the previous problems, but now I put in 3 screens, a SNES, and a TV tuner, and the source unit is generating a ton of noise. Im about to try to fix that by hard wiring the ground to the frame somewhere, and then im going to see if the monitor cables are doing it since they carry power.

That sounds like a good idea, making a common ground seemed to fix the problem in several installs that I have done.

So do you recommend running it along the power wire all the way to the amp ground from the CD player, or just ground the CD player to the frame/firewall?
