Default RCA Cables

So I was in a rush putting in my order for an amp, and ordered these rca cables as well without putting much research into wires. Did I just waste 25 bucks on these cables that would actually "perform" worse than any ol regular cables?

they should be fine. Stinger makes good stuff although that is the lower line. What's important is that it's a twisted pair that's the most important thing to look for in a a set of RCAs, they help to minimize the amount of noise introduced into the system. The ends are not gold plated but that's not much a big deal, oxidation of the connection is not that big a problem. honestly, you really can't tell the difference between RCAs in an automobile, too much ambient noise to notice any subtle differences it might make.

it is stinger lower end , but still very good

the higher end stuff can get pricey like $ 150 for a set of 20 ft

Twisted pair is only effective in a balanced input configuration.

The route of the RCA and installation is more important than the quality of the cable unless you are running a VERY high end SQ system.
