SK v2-100.4AB install, how to install with front/rear inputs on HU?

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Hey guys, i just got the https://www.skaraudio.com/products/skv2-100-4ab-four-channel-car-amplifier and my head unit is https://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/dnx995s/ . The head unit has front and rear speaker inputs for separate amps. The speakers are https://powerbassusa.com/products/mobile-audio/2xl-63c-65-system/ and https://powerbassusa.com/products/mobile-audio/2xl-693-6x9-full-range/ currently running off head unit power. I've only really installed monoblock amps so one input is pretty easy... How do i hook up one 4 channel amp to front and rear inputs to run all 4 speakers? I want to run each speaker on it's own channel.

I think I read that correctly, it has separate RCA outs for front and rear speakers? 

If so, you can either get 4 channel RCA's ( http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/rca-cables/krystal-rca-kables/sp/krystal-kable-4-channel-6m-twisted-pair-rca-cable/ you don't have to get these ones, just figured I'd show you) just pay attention which color goes to the fronts and which goes to the backs. Or, you could just run 2 separate 2 channel RCA's to the amp, just make sure you remember which is front, which is rear.

I was going to buy knu conceptz wiring as that's pretty much All I buy. My question is, if I have one front and one rear input on my head unit, how do I hook up all 4 channels (with 4 sets of rca) to only two inputs for two rca. I'll be hooking up front speakers to one channel each, rears to one channel each. 4 speakers, 4 channels, 2 inputs on head unit. Lol

It looked like in the picture, the head unit has 3 sets of RCA's. 1 set for the subs, 1 set for the front mids and highs, and one set for the rear mids and highs? Or is that third one a video input? 

Anyway, if you only have 1 set of full range outputs on the head unit, you'll have to use a regular set of RCA's, then use 2 single female to dual Male RCA's ( https://skyhighcaraudio.com/sky-high-car-audio-premium-y-splitter/ ) to go into the amp. Or 2 single Male to dual female out of the head unit to 4 channel RCA's

The head unit has sub, front, rear. But the Amp has input for each channel so I assumed it would need 4 rca. Do the 4 channel RCA have 4 plugs to Amp and two to head unit? Or is it 4 and 4? Just trying to picture the setup lol

[Dafaseles]

The 4 channel RCA's are 4 for head unit, 4 for amp. So, you should be able to use the 4 channel RCA's. The 2 front head unit outputs to channel 1 & 2, and the 2 rear head unit outputs to channel 3 & 4. Hopefully this drawing makes sense

Oh, it does. I'm stupid... once you drew it and i pictured it it made sense. One channel per speaker... thanks!

Yessir

I was imagining one rca set per speaker but one plug left, one plug right... I feel stupid 🤣 thanks for your help
