amp/wire question

I have an old amp and it has RCA inputs (labeled channel 1, channel 2, etc) and no other connectors (like for the speaker wire and ground, power, etc) however it has a harness input but the problem is I don't have the harness. Does anyone know how to hook up an amp like this w/o a harness cause its really not worth the trouble of buying a new one cause like I said, its old.

Also, I have batteries in the hatch and does running the speaker wire beside my battery cable (positive of course) would effect the transfer of signals through the speaker wire? If so I will run the wire to the other side and then behind the seat.


Cheers

sounds like youd be better off to buy a new amp. by time you rig up a new harness to get things working, the time saved could buy you a newer amp.
keep all non 12+ wires away from 12+ wires. i ran my rca's down one side of the car, and my battery wire down the other side of the car. people recomend that you keep them 18" apart. down the other side of the car is good enough for me
