    Default Quick Question

    Sup guys,
    bout to buy some RCA cables, do brand names matter? should I go for Soundstream over unknown brand?
    Also, I'll be running 2 amps, will I need to connect both RCA's to the headunit or will only 1 connect to head unit and the other rca connects the two amps together?

    which is the better way??

    In my car they've put 1 RCA to head unit and 1 RCA connecting the amps (from memory)

    Also, the car is a Toyota Camry Sedan, what length am I looking at?

    I was comparing the Monster Car Audio cable to Soundstream Competition RCA and Rockford Fosgate (included in 4ga wiring kit)

    I'm leaning towards the Rockford cause I need a wiring kit as it is already. 20Ft is plenty aye?

    Do I join the two amps via RCA or run a seperate RCA to each amp?

    Speakers: Hertz HSK165 XL
    Amps: Audison SRx2, SRx4 & Alpine M350
    Subs: 2x Alpine 10" Type S

    -brand names dont matter
    -as long as it has ok shielding any brand will be fine, buy soundstream if you want bling
    -if the head unit has 2 pre outs use 1 for each amp, allows better tuning flexibility. Otherwise, use an RCA splitter in the boot.
    -5m of cable should be fine, thats about average for a large sedan
    -20ft is plenty
    -already answered above

    any other questions ask away

    umm... while ur there.
    The big 3 upgrade ... how much wrms would it need to be before upgrading it? I've got a 600cca battery, standard alternator, standard cabling. In my car I'm running 4x 75wrms speakers and 1x 2400rms sub. My car is looking alright, physically.... but actual components are prob straining in think, I could just see my alternator dying.

    Battery and alternator wont need upgrading unless you're pulling kWs. Doesn't hurt to upgrade your ground wire on the neg battery terminal when doing your power cabling.
