hey guys I need a little help with my Component install. I have MB Quart 6.5 component set (for the front), Alpine 4 channel amp, and a Rockford amp install kit. This is all going in a 1995 240sx with the stock 6 speaker system.

My problem is my amp kit only came with one set of RCA's which mean I can only run two channels off the amp. I was thinking of just running two channels so I won't have to buy another set of RCA's. My question is how would running 2 channel instead of 4 channel affect the quality of the sound.I was thinking of running all the left side speakers (front 6.5", rear 6.5", and front tweeter ) on one channel and then all the right side speakers on the 2nd channel. As oppossed to running channel 1=FR &tweeter, channel 2=RR speaker, channel 3=FL& tweeter, and finally channel 4=RL speaker

What would you guys reccommend

Bah, screw that. You could just go to Rat Shack and get a 15ft long RCA cable for a few bucks.

Or, if you don't want to do that irght now. I would recommend using the 4 channel amp to power only the front components and use the HU to power the rest. More then likely you can bridge your amp from 4 channels down to two. Follow the instructions that came with the amp to do this.

Would there be a big difference between radiochack RCA's and the ones I have now (Rockford twisted). I don't have too much audio expertise so sorry if I sound like a dumba$$

If you listen to the advertisers then yes there's a difference, but they're idiots. They're just out to take your money.

There is no difference

PS. I'm in florida too. The brandon area. I don't know how far away winter springs is, but if it's not too far I could help you out with any stereo stuff you're doing
