So people, what rca's have you all used and loved for the money? I've been looking into knu rca's, the price is good and the few pairs I have installed seemed like great quality for the price. I'm gonna buy a 4 chan set and a 2 chan set btw. I've even pondered making them, then I can make them for friends etc too.
Anyone ever tried using the same model rcas in different lenghts and noticed more/less background noise? a longer cable would have more resistence, just not sure how audible or if it's audible at all. probably a hard if not impossible question to answer without trying it, but thats why im asking if anyone has tried this.
I only need like 10-12ft cables tops, but figured I will jsut buy like 17-20ft cables and keep them for a long time from vehicle to vehicle if there isnt a noticeable difference. |

for 12ft of the bj lc-1 it will only cost you $55! at that price it must make your system sound better!
but seriously that company makes some badass cables. I have a MSA-1 for my ipod to reciever.
Longer signal cables can contribute to more interference but how much would differ in every situation. |

Xscorpion TR18
Pretty basic RCAs but triple shielded and have drain/ground lead built in.
I sell em all day long for $10. I only run into noise issues when the HU has problems.
By far the best I have used for the $. |

I've never had a good experience with Knu RCA's unfortunately. Always end up with some system noise.
The previously mentioned Blue Jeans Cable are indeed badass. Most people don't spend that much on RCA's and don't feel the need to, but at least you know you're getting a quality product 
My next setup will use Shok RCA's though. |

I'm really surprised that so few RCA cables have integrated drain wires. I have used those 'cheap' Xscorpion RCA's I listed on alot of noisy Pioneers and they took care of the whine.
But, then again I have sold the Xscorpion 8ga amp kits w/ thoe RCA's in them and had the buy back in the door of the shop within a few days. Local shops used those drain wires as REM, so yea...you can just imagine the mayhem it caused, lol. Seen a few HU's come back w/ toasted REM and RCA's. Also a 1 or 2 memphis amps w/ dead inputs. It surprises me how those shops even stay in business.
(oh, got word from NickV today that one of those amp-killing shops has a full store closeout going on...guess it was just a matter of time) |

Stingers is what i'm running also.
The only thing i've really learned about RCAs is don't buy the super cheap ones. I had a set of scoshe efx ones break, what a pain in the azz having to take all the interior apart again just to run new RCA cables. Won't make that mistake again. |

haha yea i had a cheap set back when i first got my zx750.1, b@stards broke off in my amp lol.
I can get some rockford rca's through my work (bb) for a good price. they don't have 4 channel ones though which is really dumb, but for the price I will try them and see how they work, gonna have to buy 3 pairs though lol. |

Monster cable micro xln and xln pro..
The pro's take some effort to remove once connected.
Their build quality is similar to the street wire zero noise cables.
They removed more induced noise than the stinger nitros i had previously.
