are $50 RCA necessary?

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

its my birthday on the 19th of November. MY dad, mom, and grandma all spend about $75 a piece on me. I decided to get some CDT CL-61A/TW-24 from sonicelectronix for $150 from dad and mom. I figured out that i had a 2ch cali profile amp stated to do 100x2@4ohm and i power it up and it worked. so they will be ran off of that for now.

My question is would it be worth getting these or should i get some cheaper ones and find something else to go with them too? Will they be noticeably better than some $20 stinger or something like that?

Nope. Anything shielded will work. I run $7 knukonceptz RCA's.

did u get your storm amp to power up?

 

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

nope traded it for a shitty PA 10"

built a pretty neat box for it..... wish i got the amp to power up, but obviously it wasnt the seller's fault because it worked for 2 days. i have the 10" hooked up to my computer.

I would get these, simply because I would rather install good RCA's the first time and not worry about them again-

MONSTER CABLE MPC XLN PRO 2C-5M 2 CHANNEL 5 METER RCA

agreed.

i run the knu konceptz klarity cable. they are better than my monster RCA's that were like 3x's as much.

edit: by better i mean, build quality. the sound exactly the same, as any shielded RCA's in a vehicle environment should...

I got a 2 channel set, and a 4 channel set, and I got a 1995 set of the ORIGINAL MonsterCable XLNs...which i think were over $120 then, and the KNUs are better.

markup, name brand, and a retail store or vendor selling them vs. a manufacturer
