Best rcas and speaker wire for your buck

[rebelfromva 10+ year member]

Currently gathering everything for my budget build. Need to order a set of 4ch and 2ch rcas and speaker wire to wire up my comps and rears. Not looking for cheap @$$ stuff but don't want to break the bank either. What would y'all recommend to get the best bang for my buck?

I love my knu krystal 2 chanell rcas so far, and I would go with knu for speaker wire as well....

I have heard great things about knu wire from members here, but I have never tried it personally. My new favorite wire is Cadence. They seem to have a good product at a really good price . I just picked up 3 of these:

Cadence Acoustics United Series R17P, 17' High Performance RCA Cables

They were thicker(insulation and internal wire) than my Fosgate RCA's and a lot less expensive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone. @CADENCE SOUND I am not sure of other things in the pipeline, but I think they have some heavily shielded RCA's in the home audio section on their site.

I like the Tsunami RTP950 series of RCAs. They're a durable design that is mid-level, and I think it's just the right balance of price to quality. You can also look at Streetwires ZN5 or ZN3 on eBay, or you might even find a good deal on ZN7 RCAs. I haven't checked in a long time.

Knu, better than monster for speaker wire and equal for RCA's.

Hitch knu speaker wire would y'all recommend? Have the t4004 now but may upgrade to a t6004 or t8004 in the future

Bump plan on ordering today so opinions would be greatly helpful. When using speaker wire does getting ofc really make a difference?

I'd go with Knu. I'd get their Kord or Karma. Personally I'd go with the Kord to save space. And I think their 14 gauge would be plenty. ALTHOUGH, the Karma 12 gauge is available in a "bi-wiring" or essentially a 4 conductor version, which would just make the install a lot cleaner. Just know, their stuff is thick! For the RCAs, I'd say Karma or Krystal for sure.

14g doesn't seem to be available in either. Going with 12g kord. 100' should be plenty for everything I need lol

Car audio is all about being excessive...

The difference is peace of mind & not an audible one. Before OFC was popular, countless people used and ran other wire in daily drivers as well as competition vehicles, with continuous success and zero issues.
