Clarion CZ702 to Massive Audio NX4 Amp - What kind of RCA signal wire to use?

[Kazmer81]

I'm new to this, and though I've searched, I haven't been able to figure it out, so please don't bash on me too hard.

I recently saw this

explaining the difference between:
Single-ended (SE) and Differential (DI), Basically Coaxial vs Twisted RCA respectively.

I recently purchased a CZ702 head unit and Massive Audio NX4 (4 channel) amp and cannot find the info needed to figure out what type of wiring should be best, and why. The youtube video explains the difference, but it doesn't help with the specifics of my situation. Maybe it does and I'm just not getting it.

Please help me understand this.

Thank you

It really does not matter as long as you get decent rcas.

None of those cheap flimsy wires.

Most use twisted rca to keep a cleaner signal, but its more then likely not to get enough interference to have an issue.

Most amps don't have differential inputs.

Most amps don't have differential inputs.

this is what you're looking for op

if you need rca's that use the summing of both wires you'll know, 99% of what we use is signal pin and shield

I appreciate all of the replies.

So basically, it doesn't matter what I use on this setup as long as it's good quality wire. Good to know.

I just wish I could figure out how I can personally check to see whether or not a given amp is differential or not.

Thank you!
