Q
Will this work going from a bare-wire connection output on an amp to an RCA input on a subwoofer?

I can't say "Yes" definitively, but it should work. I'm using the Kicker KISL to go from a low level (RCA) output on my receiver to a high level (speaker) input on my Kicker sub. The adapter simply converts low-level signals to high-level signals and shouldn't know (or care) which direction the signal is traveling. The way I see it, the KISL is simply stepping impedance up or down depending on the direction of current flow. You may want to see if others agree before trying this, as I am not a electronics person by trade.

Q
Do these cables share a common ground?I want to use the low level outputs from my stock head unit and go straight into my DSP but if these cables share a common ground I'll damage my head unit.

Do i need cra wires to hook my amp up to the door speakers?
kenny  Jun 07, 2018
A
The left & right RCAs provide their own positive & negative leads so, no; they do not share a common ground.

Q
It says do not connect negative speaker wire to rca shield in my Fosgate Prime manual or it may cause damage to amp or head unit.So to make sure I understand this correctly I only connect positive wires and what exactly do I do with negative wires then?

Q
What color is negative/positive?

I tested with an L.E.D. and a battery, an L.E.D. will only light when positive and negative are connected correctly. The blue wire is the prong and grey the ring. The blue is the signal (+) and grey the shield (-).
edward  Oct 18, 2015

doesn't matter due to the faze switch on sub, can change the polarity.but both do need to be wired the same.If their is a black line on each set then use it as neg. and other as poss. if sub. doesn't sound right turn sys vol. down and switch faze switch should improve.

Negative-black

I use the blue as positive. You can use either as long as you are consistent Always positive to positive between devices urging the color as positive makes it easier to remember. Good luck
howard  Jan 13, 2014

The common color on each plug is the negative{-}. Obviously the different colors on each plug are the positive{+}. I only know this because I had to ohm them out for myself. It would be nice if they were marked - & +.
randall  Jan 13, 2014

Usually the wire with the black stripe is neg
harold  Jan 13, 2014

I used the blue as the positive connection.
