[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8667731, member: 650438"] Nope anything you read about cables affecting the sound quality is complete bullsh*t snake oil assuming the current ones you have arent shielded which would affect noise but literally almost anything even from walmart is shielded. a 5 dollar monoprice cable will sound exactly the same as a 10,000 dollar silver and gold plated diamond encrusted wire anyone that believes otherwise is completely delusional and is wasting money on the wrong things. What does get you better sound quality is head units, or dsps with good dacs, Proper vehicle acoustical treatments, Proper tune, More power, better angling of drivers, enclosure designs etc... Things that actually matter and have a giant effect on sound quality backed by physics. Only thing High End wire does is to look good, have the bling factor and make you feel good about yourself for having expensive wires, it does nothing else. First step in my opinion is to start running active networks using your 360.3 and get another 4 channel amp. Any passive component speaker or coaxials you are using will not get you any kind of decent sound quality vs a full blown active network setup. Its a complete and utter waste of money to have a DSP and not do an active network setup. your noise situation is something else completely unrelated to RCAs because if the RCAs are bad, the noise will persist ALL the times not just the beginning startup. My guess is something in the sequence of how everything turns on or something related to the 360.3's startup and signal output. [/QUOTE]
