[QUOTE="neil4374, post: 8532270, member: 671511"] Hey guys, I am an absolute novice to car audio systems. I thought I would challenge myself by replacing my factory system with an after market system. Now I have done my research and bought everything I need. However some areas are just confusing me still. I often over analyze, perhaps I am doing that here! I have tried to find my own answers but end up more confused. I can work out where to connect most things. 1. When connecting the speaker wires to the speaker I can see they how they connect(a metal end slides over the speaker end. Easy! but what else do I need to do to that? Crimp it, solder it, heat shrink it?! 2. At the other end where the speaker wire joins the amp, do I just unscrew and attach the wire or are extra things needed? I have an after market head unit, 5 channel amp(4 channel amp+1 channel for the sub) 2 front component speakers crossovers and tweeters, 2x rear full range speakers and one subwoofer ported. plus an amp wiring kit and 2 free pairs or rca cables Please see the links to what I purchased and some more questions.

They have given me three pairs of rca cables. I thought I only need 1 pair of Rca cables to connect the head unit to the amp?
