Here's one example of a thread from the past.......There are a few others if you look for a couple minutes.

Default rca's

What length do you need?

The reason I ask is that I have two 6ft stinger

http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/S...id/0/SFV/30046

I would sell them both for 20 plus shipping, that's two for the price of one, I used them for about three weeks until I bought zapco which uses a symbilink connector.

Just a thought. They are solid RCA's and I had no issues with them.

PM if you want.

Scoshe kit from Walmart. I do not kid, the RCA's will work just as good as the overpriced stuff you buy everywhere else (Tsunami from Circuit City, JL from Tweeter etc.) and the WHOLE kit will cost you $25.

I actually went with their kit. Awesome quality with just the right amount of wiring i needed, for a great price. I was going to just go with Scoshe, but I would have needed 2 kits, and it would have been the same price as the knukoncepts kit.

If you get knukonceptz do not get the krystal RCA cables, had no good experience with them.

Default plugs

I think he doesn't like them for the plugs...

the male ends on that line apparently have problems. No 1st hand exp. with them, but I remember reading the forums and them blasting them for that reason.

Has anyone here run home audio cables in their car? I've always used Blue Jeans Cable for my home audio and they are top notch for the price.

It's true, I do not like there design on the ends. They easily twist open, and they do not fit snug a lot of the times (i had to get crimpers and bend mines in). I was pleased.

Higher quality, but not top of the line. Need three sets for my Z. Not sure what length would work.

a good rca cable for CAR is:

1. thin
2. flexible
3. realtively short rca ends with solid connections
4. well constructed that does not break under abuse
5. okay decent constructions for noise rejection, doenst need to be super duper

the main point is that you dont need fancy schmancy cables, unless you are really going for the best SQ possible, i usually stick to stinger for hte most part, but stuff from the other major car players are fine too.

to me i try to avoid some really hceap rca cables beucase they have more tendency to get a wire cut on the sindie or ends torn out, not beucase they for some reason is more noisy.

i dont reocmmend home audio cables for reasons above 1 2 and 3. most of hte good ones for home are relatively thick and not as flexible
