wellington Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Or should I just stick with my cheap rca's and try to run them as far from power wires as possible? 2010 HHR LT - DNX 6160 - sony xec-700 - sony xm-4040 for door mids - XM-6020 for tweets in a-pillar - saz1500d v1 - VVME RD-12 1.75 f^3 32hz guru and president of the "cheap asses trying to beat up the block with bargain bin woofers" club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's ur call. I'm a believer that better quality RCA shielding reduces ur chances of alt wine, or whatever. But I have friends and older systems where Walmart RCA's were just fine.

But I have friends and older systems where Walmart RCA's were just fine. I do notice a bit of alternator wine, but I am using REALLY cheap RCA's and it's hard to route power completely away from the RCA's and speaker wires so i figured I would try out some better RCA's before doing some drastic wire placement 2010 HHR LT - DNX 6160 - sony xec-700 - sony xm-4040 for door mids - XM-6020 for tweets in a-pillar - saz1500d v1 - VVME RD-12 1.75 f^3 32hz guru and president of the "cheap asses trying to beat up the block with bargain bin woofers" club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I run the monster RCA's which I like but they grab the RCA terminals super damn hard, they even ripped an RCA terminal off my amp. I like the kicker RCA the best series they make I think it's the X series.

hdorre Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I run the monster RCA's which I like but they grab the RCA terminals super damn hard, they even ripped an RCA terminal off my amp. As you pull on the RCA, slightly rotate it.

graham0599 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I like KNU's the best. They grip super tight too My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have never used anything other than Walmart stuff. I have never had RCA induced noise. At least, no noticeable noise F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I haven't had a problem with cheap RCA's, but i have noticed a reasonable increase in SQ from higher quality RCA's. When i swapped to KNU's, it was louder and more clear without having to adjust gains. I use a DD-1 My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
