Amp Wiring Q

I have an Alpine MRD 500 Amp in the trunk powering the sub. I'm using the stock headunit (I know, I know) with the NIS AOEM adapter, the one that has two pre amp outputs (front/rear). I'd like to hook up another 2 channel amp for a set of components. Will I get better signal from the RCA cables if I just plug a set of RCA's into the current amp's preouts, or would I be better off connecting a set of RCA's to the other set of preamps on the adapter thats connected to the headunit? Any difference?

yeah, you can use the amp's RCA outputs. it'll be the same signal as its seeing from the RCA in.

You can pick up a Kicker ZX650.4 for about 150 on ebay or a KX350.4 for under 100.

If you jump off the amp in the back you won't have any fade control
