numatik Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Hi guys, I have so much audio video RCA in my vehicles alone it has made me decide to start making my own. I wanted to buy a huge roll of two channel RCA cable then buy ends in bulk and save me money than buying remade cables that are always too long or too short. A few quick searches show others doing this, but I'm posting on here to have you guys give me recommend on which to buy hopefully with a few options to choose from. I'd like to order on eBay if there's wire and parts available without spending a grip. Could you guys help me out?

KiKaZz74 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 I'm not sure what exactly henis using but I'd look into SounDrive RCAs he's making quality ones any length u need. It takes skill to properly ground and solder coax cable for a quality RCA. Sorry I can't help on where to get stuff from but that's where I'd look.

numatik Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks guys this is off to a good start. I'm looking to buy a big roll then start collecting ends and start some trial and error. How many others do this? This will be my first rodeo, I've fixed a few ends and shortened cable but that's it do far Gary 'Numatik' Eberle West Sacramento, California Vehicle build log (1) 'Aayla' Numatik's one and only, bodydropped pasted the doors Chevy S-20 Ext-Ext cab.

Aaron Tuck TBA Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I'm pretty interested in doing this also! 2000 Cavalier 4 doorXS D925XS D2400XS D31004 runs of 1/0 Mechman 270 2 DD 9515js
_paralyzed_ Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 It's really quite simple. I can't believe more people don't just make their own, it makes for a much cleaner install.
ROLEXrifleman Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I make mine out of rg6 coaxial cable. students I use f connectors to rca adapters ought times I use crimp on rca connectors Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice
Aaron Tuck TBA Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 What cable does every one suggest? 2000 Cavalier 4 doorXS D925XS D2400XS D31004 runs of 1/0 Mechman 270 2 DD 9515js
Wicks Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Building your own is a great way to save some money and learn some things about the signals in your system. #1 There are different types of signals that you need the correct cables for. In order to give you the cleanest signals you can get. Based on that, you can buy bulk COAX or twisted pair wire. I've tried both versions. Soldered connections are the best as the push-on or crimp-on ends tend to fall off easily. With all my experience buying various cables and building my own......my run from the head unit (iPadMini) to my trunk is optical (digital).

ROLEXrifleman Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 snap-n-seal connectors are crimp on your that will never come off. The old hex style exterior crimp I agree are crap. The new ones are actually compression fittings, so I in fact used the wrong term Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice
