It is there as a "pass through". This comes in handy if your deck only has one set of RCA outputs. It enables you to "daisy chain" multiple amps together. You would run the RCA cables from the deck to amp #1's input, then use a another cable from the output on amp #1 to the input on amp #2.

Sony Xplod XM-1652z 1000watt amp for my car and it has a high power input spot what does this do i have the connector but what do you connect to it and what does it do?

It's so you can use your stereo speaker output wires to the amp without having to use RCA cables It should say High Level Input and you use it or RCA cables. Not both. If you plan on using the amp to power subs use RCAs. If you plan on running mids and highs you can use what you like. If your stereo has front and/or rear RCA outputs as well as sub output it's your call

Normal car radio is no different than aftermarket. Determine the output wires on the radio, take them into the amp and the output from the amp back to the wires going to the speakers. Normal car speakers are not going to take the output of the amp if you raise it much.

You will need what is called an L.O.C., which is a line output converter. It is used to convert speaker lines into an RCA output.
