Single ended rca cables or differential rca cables.  My head unit has continuity from center to outer rca output, my amp has no continuity from center to outer rca input.  What cable do I need to use, single pin rca or twisted pair rca?

Interesting question. I don't even know what that means to be honest. It seems to me like you're way overthinking your problem though. I would say twisted pair RCA, but aren't all RCAs designed to have positive and negative continuity from inside to outside on the connections? Maybe I need to read more.

I went through this, same questions, 

"What do I have" "what do I need" "what if this is the wrong kind" "who makes what I need"

 

What head unit and what amp?

 

I believe most decks are single ended, and most amps are differential.

 

Lucky my Rockford amps are technically neither, they will accept both and have a special "dump circuit" (simple crude explanation) that will deal with either, and it's design is "quieter" than either or, single ended and differential.

 

Back to it

 

Differential actually relies on purposely picking up an amount of noise to reject it using it's system properly

 

Tony will break it down very easy to understand here
