faceass69 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm rebuilding my set up and have always used the affordable RCA's I could get. Is there really a difference in RCA's? I'm used to the 5 dollar cheap-o's but this time around I'm looking for quality, not quantity. I'm leaning towards all Rockford amps and wondered if I should go with all Rockford RCA's. Also checked out Darvex.com and noticed a BIG price difference in them. But what really is the difference?

Mosin Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I believe theres a diff from the cheapest out there compared to the most expensive but for mid-range ones, I'd say there all the same. Quote Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EclipseChris Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 The best i have used (RF) and the worst i have used (scosche) are different by MILES, but the difference between my RF and my Raptor rcas are almost unnoticeable.

chapo123 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 yeah i was wodnering too.. what difference did you notice exactly from using rf compared to schose or w/e? Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 yeah i was wodnering too.. what difference did you notice exactly from using rf compared to schose or w/e? I noticed the cheap ass ones cause speaker whine in my car. Better RF ones dont. It's the protection on the wire that helps. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track.

EclipseChris Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 you can actually tell the difference? yeah i was wodnering too.. what difference did you notice exactly from using rf compared to schose or w/e? In the same exact environment with the same exact power and signal the RF was a TON louder and a TON clearer. It was literally a bigger difference than night and day. I feel that if i replaced the RF that i have in my car with the Scosche stuff i used to have then i honestly think i would lose 4-6 db. Which is HUGE Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator.

MrSkippyJ Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 shielding is the biggest difference. more expensive cables have more shielding, but not always better. some of the ends are made more durable on some cables, so if you are un-connecting your cables a lot, that could be important. if you have zero interference problems and no worries about un-plugging your cables, unless you buy really shitty cables, you will never notice the difference.
