As stated this will help you or should help you find out what type of RCA inputs and outputs your head unit and amp uses.

yes its should, you will also be able to do this with everything out of car. you would just be assuming your car have great ground throughout.

given if you have good ground at your amp/ head unit you can use the grounds from them ( i.e. instead of me using the chassis ground i could have grounded my - lead to the neg power input on the amp and proceed with touch the outer rings.

Thanks for the video's. You mentioned another video in video 2 here. Where is that at, if you could link it please. I'd like to see it as well. Thanks!

was just the first video, when i had did the head unit, was just using it as example seeing as i got single input coming from deck and diff input going into amps

everything you should need info wise, should be in the first post.

What i think is so funny no matter what the amps required the ground signal on the shielded end it does not matter if its coax or twisted if you want real coax instead of half coax you can always use some Home R6 cable that u use on your tv and put this connector on it if you want real coax

buy yourself a 100 dollar wire and a 10 dollar wire cut them open to find out you have the same wires in side nothing different but the shielding for noise signal
