Answer 1

You can use RCA's, but I wouldn't recommend it; it seems like it might be difficult putting an RCA end on a decent size speaker cable. Also, you might run the risk of someone mistaking the speaker output for a low-level output, since RCAs are the standard for the low-level signal in car audio. IMO a better choice for the speaker connections would be binding posts, and you could use banana plugs for a quick connect/disconnect.

Answer 2

RCA's and speaker connections have NOTHING to do with one another.
So, no, you cannot connect an amps rca's to speaker or vise-versa.
Rca cables' positve wire is REALLY small. So to use it as a speaker wire wouldn't be any good cause' it wouldn't be able to handle the wattage. Sound quality will go downm, distortion- up.
Use binding posts or something like what was recommended to you earlier.
Good Luck!
