Loose RCA's End's

[07BronzeFuz 10+ year member]

Guys, I just installed my rca's I got from monoprice, and they are kinda loose going on to the female ends on the my HU. What can I do to get them more secure. I lost my right front speaker and tweeter and touched the pocket under the radio and it came back one. I then proceded to look at where they go in and noticed them backing out somewhat. Thanks

I always wrap the connection with electrical tape.

cant tape them because my female ends are attached to the back of my 9855. They dont have wires and plugs coming out like most HU do. These are housed in the radio itself.

if these are the type of RCAs you got, you should be able to press the outer fins in a little bit to make the fit tighter.

those are the ones I got 25fter's. I didn't notice it had slits in them. I will see if I can press them together.

Ya I had to do this today with my Knu krystals, they were pretty loose fit on the amp end, so I just gave em a quick bite with my teeth to close them a little and made it a press fit basically lol
