Pen4 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 Hello. What type of RCA Cable's should i use for my sound system?There is 2 type's of RCA cables.1: Single Ended.2:Differential Input.I have tried to understand them but it was very complicated for me.My Headunit RCA's output are like this. My Amplifier RCA's input are the same. For the moment i am using Differential Rca's,the cables are twisted togheter. Inside Plastic shield(Not really a shield).Can this cause bad signal or clipping (Noise) from the headunit to the AMP?Kind of like those. They are really thin, not thick.
SIDE SHOW Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 whaaaaa? rca's either have a male or female connection. you can get them male to male, female to female male to female ect ect or you can even make your own if you wanted too. hope that helps lol

He's asking if he should use SE RCAs or differential input RCAs. The difference is in the way the signal travels and is grounded. Watch video: Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
islandpride684 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 Use the method described in the vid and see if the RCAs on your amp are grounded, if they are go SE if not go DI...

SIDE SHOW Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 gotcha... might go test mine later (cheers)
RainStryke Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 I saw that video in another thread. I guess your head unit can take either one but it depends on your amplifier? Or does your head unit effect what RCA's you need as well?
SIDE SHOW Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 *interested* anyone have some more info on this?
mothra Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 it amazes me me how something can be blown up to something that in the real world use is just not that big of an issue. Tony is just describing the 2 types of signal yet all the noobs now think that the wrong RCA cable is going to make there stuff melt. Just the same way "box rise" has turned into the death of all bass. there has been tons of threads started about how to prevent box rise or decrease it. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know
RainStryke Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 I'm not worried my stuff is going to melt. I just want the cleanest signal I can get.
SIDE SHOW Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 ^^ exactly, also is one type of cable more prone to having issues (engine noise,ground loop ect) than the other.
