How To: Find out if your head unit & amp uses coax or twisted RCA's

[LordArcane]

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.

sorry for the poor video, as i don't have a very good camera.

Hope everyone enjoys this little how to video.

also some other info you might need to know

SE=Coax, Diff=Twisted

Link to D'Amore Engineering's video "Truth about RCA signal cables"

Sorry to keep asking questions.

Anyways so even with the amp disconnected. If you touch ground to RCA outside ground it will give u the same results?

[LordArcane]

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.

wow, figured with all the talk about this lately it would see more interest, guess i was wrong. oh well

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

Unitil then

Yes i work on amps thats why i HAHAH

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
