knukonceptz

Have any of you used knukonceptz rca cables? Have you found them sensitive to electrical interference? Mine were getting interference and then I move them around in the trunk and now the sound is almost totally eliminated. I beginning to think they are cheap rca's. Maybe I should have gone with the really expensive monster cables.

Never had a problem with noise at all....I've used the ones that come with the 4ga wiring kit, and no problems...even running right next to the power wire.

I'm having weird problems with them. I thought I fixed the problem when I routed them down the other side of the car away from the power wire. Then a few days ago the sound came back and got quite noticeable. I regrounded my deck to a new location today and the sound was still there. Then I moved the rca cables way away from the power wires in the trunk and the noise went away. Then I wrapped the rca around the power wire to see if the noise would come back and it didn't. To me it sounds like faulty rca's. LIke the insulation is screwed up or the wires inside are messed up and that's why the sound goes away when I play with the rca wires.

Do you have a good, solid amp ground? If you have multiple amps, do you have them grounded at the same spot? Do you happen to have a US Acoustics amp?

I am sure that you have already made sure the RCA connections are solid. Is it possible to swap out your RCA's for another cheap set?

I know...though they seem to be standing out as having more problems than others as of late.

What can you get to stop the internal noise problem, if there is anything?

I have a planet audio amp. THe noise has really been decreased. I don't have any other cheap rca's. I'm thinking about picking up some monster cables for cheap. I currently have only one amp hooked up. I even tried switching the mounting point for that amp and it didn't help. The noise isn't hearable at this point unless your head is right next to the speaker after moving the rca's around.
