Ok. My car radio deck has four RCA outputs(2white and 2 red). My amp also has four RCA inputs(2white and 2 red). My deck has the RCA jacks labeled PREAMP FRONT and PREAMP REAR. I think that this is for running two amps with the same deck but i'm not sure. Anyway what are the four RCA jacks at the amp all about. Do I hook all four output jacks from the deck to the four RCA inputs at the amp. And if I dont then why does the amp has Four when you only need two. Does the music sound better if you have all four RCA jacks hooked up. I know this is a dumb question, but i'm kind of new at this. PLEASE HELP.

if its a 2 ch amp then you can only use either the preamp front or preamp rear. you would need to get another 2 channel amp if you want to use both front and rear.

2 of the rca connector on your amp is input and the other 2 are output. it should be marked on your amp.

The preouts on the head unit are for front and rear full-range channels (think door speakers)
the amp, if it's a 4 chanel amp, has inputs for all 4 channels.
If the amp is for subs, the 4 inputs are there so if you fade front to rear on the head unit, you're not supposed to be fading the subs in and out if they were only connected to one pair of inputs.
