Answer
Hi,

If you're talking about an amplifier that's meant to drive speakers, then you only need to connect it to audio outputs from the head unit.  Depending on what you're using the amplifier for, you may need to run two RCA cables (for the left and right audio channels) or only a single cable (for a mono subwoofer amp).  The only reason you'd need to use the video RCA output would be for external video monitors, or a video distribution amplifier.

Sorry about the delay in answering your question.  Hope this helps!
