What method listed below(or add other ways you've done it) is best or should I use to connect my subwoofer amp to the car radio/signal wires? (my amp only has RCA inputs - lanzar vibe 238)
Any additional help or pics on this topic would be great as well....
Thanks in advance for any assistance...

After splicing into the appropriate input wires coming from the stock HU, you will be able to connect the RCA jacks on the LOC to the RCA input jacks on your amp using a standard RCA interconnect cable. NOTE: If your amp does NOT accept differential-balanced input signals on its input jacks, you MUST get a LOC that is capable of converting the differential-balanced signals in the G35 to the standard single-ended signals the aftermarket amp is expecting on its input jacks. Soundgate makes an amp that does this.
(if you used this one, do you know the brand/model of LOC used?)
2. Splicing braided/twisted RCA cables (PREFERRED IF YOUR AMP ACCEPTS DIFFERENTIAL-BALANCED INPUTS!!!). If your amp accepts differential-balanced inputs on its RCA input jacks, all you must accomplish to connect your amp is to convert the speaker wires in the G35 to RCA-style connectors that your amp requires. While a LOC will accomplish this task, it is overkill and adds unnecessary complexity and possible noise into your system. If you have ever cut open a standard RCA cable, you will notice that there are two conductors, one of which is often VERY tiny. Splicing such a tiny conductor to a speaker wire is very difficult and does not yield quality sound for your inputs (which the entire system is dependant upon!) Look for twisted RCA cables, or braided RCA cables. These use thicker gauge wiring for both conductors. INOXS makes cables that work well for this.

First this is in the wrong section. But to answer your question, depends on if your amp accepts balanced differential inputs, find out if it does(JL and Alpine are the only ones as far as I know), then use the appropriate method
