Airborne Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 www.partsexpress.com I looked and realized I need an experts help. There are plenty of options like crush sleeve, crimp etc. I just want to put together a couple nice reliable cables all by my self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnny Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 You can use guitar cable, Mic cable, raw twisted pair, etc. I use a twisted pair with a 100% shielded casing Theres a bunch of different types of wire, ends, coverings, and treatments you can do to make yours. If your going to do a couple nice ones, it may be more cost effective to buy them. I bought big bulks for mine to be worth making them up. Even then it's very time consuming. But if you do end up making your own then can be a way better product then what you would buy. How would making your own compare to something like streetwires zero noise 9's? They're a pricey wire, but I want some top-notch wiring providing a clean signal to my amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 to be honest I do everything I can to see if it would be worth it. I build my own enclosures, weld and plasma cut my own shit I really like to have my hands into more than "I bought it and plugged it in.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a pricey wire, but I want some top-notch wiring providing a clean signal to my amps. It depending on the wire your using to make them. It be nice to have your own rca's made exactly to what you need, and not a lot extra laying someplace. I had a guy from this site make me some. Think I paid around 125$ or so for four sets of 20 foots, and 1 3 foot cable for strapping amps. The cables where double shielded, and double wired loomed, used some nice rca 5.0 connectors. Looks Id rate a 10! Performance Id give him a -10! (since I fried amps due to the users soldering skills and the center pin grounded out on the inside of the rca due to wire being stripped to far, not twisted and then soldered with little stray wires touching where ever, and about a $600 repair bill... I ended up tearing the cables down and having to resolder them except for 1 cable and that one looked like it was done nice, and the center pin wire was heatshrinked. So Im guessing he ran low on supplies, cut corners, and rushed to get them out the door to meh. I would of totally understood if he was behind and needed more money for supplies (i would of paypaled) some more, but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made RCAs before but not for cars, and I wasn't looking for an extremely high quality product. In this case I am. I guess it just comes down to the wire, since I know my skills, and certainly trust my own quality work I also want some nice looming for protection and such.

kingsuv Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I guess it doesn't matter how nice they are if the damn solder doesn't hold Sucks to hear about your issues. For mine I picked a really nice wire, great connectors, (until my own ends come in) nice wire loom, and shrink tubing. I use silver solder on mine and no matter the time frame, take my time making them. It also helps to use the correct tools to get the job done. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.
