Right now I have a Kenwood KDC 395X and am looking into getting a Clarion EQS746. I have a JL Audio JX360/4 amp for my Alpine SPR speakers and I have a Soundstream TX1.2000D hooked up to my 2 Sundown SA15"s. But my question is how do I hook up the EQ to my amp and my HU? My stereo has 3 sets of RCAs, and there is only 1 set on the EQ for speakers but 2 outs for fronts and rears. Do I just run RCAs from my fronts on my HU to the Main input on the EQ? Or the rears? Then do I just run a set of RCAs from my EQ to my sub amp and not from my stereo? Thanks

Just finished watching the Truth about RCA's video on the D'Amore YoutTube channel. Just wondering, I can understand how the differential input would receive the two signals and double minus them to get a clean signal however wouldn't this only happen if the car's head unit outputting the signal had a differential output and sends that out of phase signal? As far as I know the majority (if not all) aftermarket head unit's have their shield end of the output connected to ground. So my questions are: at the amplifier input wouldn't the "shield" wire in a twisted pair just have noise in it as opposed to an out of phase signal with noise? If this was the case, how does this affect the resulting signal? Also would a single ended RCA work better than a differential in this scenario? Or would the fact that the shield end is getting all the noise and the pin is getting no noise work out to a lower quality signal once it has gone through the final stage of the input? Cheers, Ben. PS. I'm a aware of the modules you can connect in line with your RCA's to convert them to a differential output. My question doesn't involve them thanks!
