Syphlyn Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I've been reading about twisted RCA cables, differential, coaxial. Honestly it's overwhelming and maybe I'm just over thinking it but I don't know what RCAs I should be getting for my amp. I originally ordered these: http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/rca-cables/krystal-rca-kables/sp/krystal-kable-2-channel-6m-twisted-pair-rca-cable/ but realized I should have went with longer ones. Will those work for me or should I be looking for something different? Here's a picture of my amps RCA inputs: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/fourdrvet/009_zps0c41a92f.jpg Thanks guys Edited July 18, 2014 by Syphlyn Quote Syphlyns 2000 F150 4.6L V8 H/U: Kendwood KDC-X898 Speakers: 4 x Alpine SPR-68 Speakers 4 Channel Amp: Alpine PDX-F4 Sub: Sundown Zv4 12 Sub Amp: Sundown SAZ-2000D Box: 2.75 Cu Ft @ 31Hz Alternator: Mechman 250A elite series Wiring: All KnuKoncepz 0 gauge OFC + KnuKonceptz Krystal RCAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hispls Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 So long as the length is good they'll be fine. Signal cable is 99% marketing hype and bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I noticed this amp doesn't have the markers on the RCA inputs. Does the red usually go on the bottom with the black/white on the top? Does it not matter?

Signal cable is 99% marketing hype and bullshit.No it's not there is actually reason. They are both designed to reject noise but do so differently and the two designs are not interchangeable Quote That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Syphlyn Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Already saw that video and I have no idea what is required for my amp. Sundown is really lacking on the descriptions and specs on their equipment at least on their website.

I'm just saying their website for information and specs is lacking. They have great customer service. I'm just trying to get the right ones. It's not mentioned whether their amps RCAs are the single ended or the differential input.

Okay excellent that's what I wanted to know! Also this is a pure nooby question but in my amps pics I don't see "color guides". Does the red RCA usually go on the bottom while the black goes on the top?

Does the red RCA usually go on the bottom while the black goes on the top? In a mono channel amplifier it doesn't matter. It only has one channel, and someone can correct me if I am wrong, but subwoofers do not have differences in the right and left channels like regular speakers do. You know how in certain music one side plays and the other doesn't or maybe doing something else at certain times? Well in subwoofers both sides are always doing the same thing I believe. Simply stated. The orientation of the rcas doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
