usually the head unit has to have the ability to send signal through a fiber optic wire, its very very pricey, and i've only really seen on high end units like alpines.

IMO save your money and go for some nice rca interconnects

I doubt seth90dx's sony xplod has fiber optic outs, makes me wonder what he's talking about and how, if he's using an adapter that fits in the rca jacks, there is any gain to be had. As far as my inteconnects, Im using Stinger Hyper series twisted pairs, good enough?

the stinger hyper series interconnects are great for handling any loop noise. Fiber optic can be seen as putting through a clean signal and its lossless through distance (alot of network's and high speed connections has computers connected through a main switch which then routes data through one or more fiber optic lines for several hundred feet.

Sweet. I guess I should go ahead and buy another set so I can hook up my 4 ch amp.

Your components must have fiber optic inputs and outputs. Mostly mobile multimedia components accept fiber optics. I hope you're not trying to connect fiber optic cable to RCA outputs...
