Airborne Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) I tried to search but got an error saying one or more of my search words were below 4 letters (rca). I have seen where some have made their own and was wondering where people get their connectors and cable plus what to look for as far as quality, type and brand.

Neo_frog Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Really it's not that hard. I don't know if there's a thread or place to find em, but I use to cut them up and make them back in the day because I was too cheap to buy what I needed. Just used old shit lyin around to make new stuff. What are you trying to do? Have a larger gauge RCA? EDIT: Search for 'RCAs' Edited April 8, 2009 by Neo_frog Quote Need an install?

I even make my own cable ends out of copper pipe. I was wondering if guitar cable is sufficient and what to look for as far as resistance and quality connectors. And I should have added the "S" to my search, thanks man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think King SUV is selling them. I don't want him to give up a trade secret that messes with his hustle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I am going to use guitar cable. My CDA-9886 only puts out 4 volts so I think it will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsuv 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. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. 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...

Yeah, I was just looking around at prices and it looks like Knu will be cheaper than me making a couple of my own. But I could justify it by re-doing all of the home audio (friggin spaghetti in three rooms). Where is a good place to get twisted cable" I was on PE and a couple of other sites and didn't see any.

kingsuv Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I use Mogami cable for mine. Theres a ton of wire makers out there. I like their specs the best.
