    at the moment probably 2x boxed 7x10's so i'll bridge the four into two, after that possibly 2x6.5inch components or 1 12inch sub

    Well then for the moment you just need to connect 1 pair of RCAs to either the front or rear preouts of the head-unit (depending on where the speakers will be mounted). Then just buy a set of RCA splitters to split the two plugs into four plugs at the amp end. Either that or just connect your two sets of RCAs to the front and rear outputs of the head-unit and to the amp....doing it this way means you wont be able to fade the 7x10s out or in if you know what i mean.

    I had a Sony Xplod RCA, the first one was faulty and i was told it was my fault, couldnt possibly be the equipment, etc etc...
    So the replacement i get snapped off in my amp, meaning amp had to be pulled apart so i could poke it out from the inside.

    Rubbish >
