I am trying to create an auxiliary hookup for my ford escape. Will this work or do I need an input adapter for the rca cables?

In my explorer I did not have the Premium stereo so the RCA connector was not used in my installation. My current aux input from the factory system does not work. I use the front connector on my deck.

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways.Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

You can buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K2TXMO/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details and hook it up to your stereo red/white input cables like these http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-RCA-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000UZ66YY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321326192&sr=1-5 Thats what I do - but you've probably already figured this out by now. Thanks

Hi Julie. Sounds like you need something like this to adapt the cable: 2 Pieces RCA Male to Male RCA Coupler Connector Adapter Hope that helps.

I have this because my car does not have a head unit. I can say you are better off getting a dedicated head unit and using it instead. This amp should work with any application - it has preamp inputs and speaker-level inputs. This means you can have an input from RCA (like from an aftermarket headunit) or from your factory headunit (splice into the wires going TO the speakers).

I'm not totally certain, but I don't think it will work with an amplifier. The purpose of the adapter is to mate the radio outputs to the vehicle speakers, and it provides a chime to replace the one lost when the original radio is removed. Most amplifiers take a line level from the radio and then provide the amplified outputs to the speakers. I think you should contact your amplifier OEM and ask how you should handle the hookup. It may be you could use this for the chime and use another adapter to wire the amp to the speakers. More information required, sorry I can't answer fully.

Hi - I also have RCA inputs and found these Procab adapters that seem to be excellent quality and used with good quality cables have not made any noticeable difference. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Procab-Classic-RCA-Female-to-XLR-Male-Adapter-/121002301872 They also make these which are excellent value. http://www.bax-shop.nl/xlr-rca/procab-cab701-2x-xlr-male-2x-rca-male-3.00-meter/product-details.html

I'm not sure exactly but I know the boss unit does have another plug connector that doesn't use the rca at all. you may need to attach that pug instead. if not use the left input and hope for the best. because it's bass it shouldn't be too noticeable. also maybe go to a car audio shop and ask one of the guys and see what they say. I wired mine from the rear speakers using a line output converter but that's essentially what you already have coming from your stereo. sorry that I couldn't be more of a help. good luck!

A single male RCA subwoofer cable can be used and plugged into the L input. I have a receiver with a subwoofer out that uses a single RCA and this is not an issue. This is plug option listed with the included instructions, but is not very well documented elsewhere.

Uses an RCA video plug in. It should work no problem if the head unit you have has the RCA video in jack. Look at the back of your head unit and look at manual for it as well.

I have a 2000 explorer with the factory amp in the back. It works perfectly. If you don't have the factory sub in the back you don't need the harness with the rca jacks.

Not if that works or not. I simply bought a rca cable "Y" cable and ran from subwoofer out on the receiver to the two inputs. These cables can be bought for less than $10.

there is a aux port in the front along with a red and white rca for a rear input from a auxiliary device

it is just an amplifier. make sure your replacement speakers are capable of handling the increased power input. do NOT tap power from your car's battery. source power from your fuse box. Cooper Bussmann/ATC fuse tapPrice: $5.99Part Number: BP-HHA-RP from Autozone.it is compatible with any head unit. just cut off the RCA connectors from the AMP to use the Speaker out wires from your car's head unit. Please, buy an adapter [do NOT slice into or cut your car's headunit wiring harness]. again, it WILL work. Solder all your connections. Good Luck. Happy New Year!

If it is an RCA audio output port, you can get a y adapter which combines L and R into one RCA plug. If you don't care, plug either red or white.

Most likely this is the wrong cable for what you need. You need an RCA Y-adapter with male connectors at each end similar to the item below. You will also need 2 of these (one for each left and right channel). http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-03161-Stereo-Y-Cable/dp/B0002J1KVM/ref=sr_1_56?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1427665632&sr=1-56&keywords=y+rca+adapter

Buy a red/white female RCA audio cable adapter to 1/4" microphone input. This worked like a charm.
