[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8766691, member: 591582"] Same with me. I recommend running everything hard-wired. I would use probably some USB connection to your phone or an audio device and plug that directly into your radio, and obviously get a radio that can be used like that. I am not a fan of BT. With BT, you have more quality factors: the quality of the phone's BT antenna, the BT signal has to travel through the air and hopefully doesn't get any distortion or interference, and then the quality of the radio's BT antenna. That's a lot more factors than just highly conductive wires that transfer the signal directly into the radio, then your RCA's transfer them directly to the amp. I would also look into getting a high quality radio with 4v+ RCA outputs. I've installed a ton of radios, and when amplifying, I've grown to hate any radio under 4v. That's generally a quality factor that I don't want to go below. You want to eliminate every opportunity the signal has to distort or gain interference from any perspective. You would also want to use shielded RCA cables for amplification, that way environmental electromagnetic radiation can't induct itself into the RCA's and feed non-audio signals into the amp. [/QUOTE]
