Waterproofing speakers in my door

That's pretty interesting.

I didn't realize he's rcas were going to stick so far out the back of the amp which now that could become an issue of hitting and not enough room under my seat. Think I'll just drill some holes in this piece of wood and zip tie the wires down but I'm going to sand the piece of wood down and clear coat it with some clear coat.

These will give you a little room and the RCA cables lay right on top of each other

Okay so I may mount an extra power block next to the amp but I'm running into an issue now I wasn't counting on these RCA wires sticking so far out of the back of the amp I'm at 20 in now from the front of the amp to the back of the RCA cables I only got 20 inches under my seat no more.

I never even thought about the how far the RCA cable for going to take out the back didn't even take that into account.

Well it's a six-channel amp in the RCA's are all right next to each other I don't know if you could put six of those 90° things together I think they'd end up hitting each other.

Hmm. You may have to relocate the amplifier?? Or do a little custom Protective plate to protect the exposed RCA cables?

I don't see how it's possible it doesn't matter if it's longer and one shorter. You tell me how you're going to get six of those and build a plug-in all the cables without hitting one of the other channels there's no way to do it.

I guess it could work but they'd have to be significantly longer than the shorter one.

Put in and roll down towards the bottom mounting plate at a 45*

I'm looking at it there's no way it can work . The first holes the first channel you put in a long one next channel you put in a short one when you get back to the long one it's going to hit the short one. It can't work it's not possible I'm looking at it there's no way that can work.

On a four-channel amp it would work six channels it won't work.

If I take the RCA's and bend them as far as they will make a 90 without bending the wire inside I do save 2 in and I got it down to 18 inches total length which may work I'm going to have to mount it on this piece of wood and stick it under the seat and find out if it's going to work. As far as relocation there is nowhere else to put the amplifier I'm not putting the amplifier near the hatchback because it gives too easy of access for someone to just pop the window out and take it too easy for someone to see it looking in the car it's got to go under the seat I got to make it work under the seat.

You can use all long ones at bottom row and all short on top and roll them down. Or.. at either end to start. 1st two top and bottom use Long, next short and last two Long

You might have something there I didn't think of that. Going to order four long ones and four short ones and play around with it and make it work it would save me probably literally two and a half inches of space thank you for that link to those I'm going to order those unless I can find them on Amazon and get them quicker.

If you point the RCAs 45s up and connect the RCAs then roll them down on top same with bottom. Bottom you will have to do before you mount amp in place to have the room to roll those

I see what you're saying I could basically put three long ones on the bottom three short ones on the top turn them upwards connect the RCA cables and then turn it all downward that might work.

Look and see if you can get the Length specs for them. Parts Express usually carries several different lengths. Just have do a little searching is all. they have the Nice Gold Plated and they are usually well made and grip very well for the money. Ive even had to use extenders and 45s in some Home Theater installs

You know what I'll have to do is I'll have to strip the RCA cables apart they're actually attached to each other so one RCA cable all the cables are stuck together I'll have to strip them all separately otherwise I would never be able to get one to go into the top and one into the bottom if the rcas are the same length.
