Noise cancelling? Pure marketing hype.

What RCAs are you specifically refering to?

i'm not referring to any ones specifically

i'm just looking to rewire the entire car with the addition of a new headunit & new amplifier, i want to clean up my first install and make it look a lot better

being the kind of person i am i tend to stick to a specific company for everything - thus the reason i've got all Rockford Stuff

i'm looking at rewiring with the Knu Koncepts stuff and i'm wondering if its worth my money to go for the higher end noise reduction RCA's versus the much cheaper ones. I'm going to be spend roughly 200 on power/ground/speaker wires, rca's, distro block etc...and wondering if i should save my money if those type of RCA's are all hype...

You will not hear a difference between the low end and high end Knu cables or any other cables. Contrary to what all the marketing tells you, the car (other then way up in the dash or in the engine bay) is not an electromagnetically noisy place. Most all noise in the car is caused by a bad connection or a defective component.

Delta Magnetic De-Fluxing for low noise signal cables

Do a patent search on that title and read about how Richard Clark and

David Navone came up with a twisted pair wiring methodology that cancels

induced noise found on RCA cables in automobiles. The claim is that the noise

found in cars is different than the noise commonly found elsewhere in audio {ie home audio}.

Second issue, what to buy. I'd just buy some robust cables with high % shielding coverage, a cable that can take some abuse before you lose the electrical connection. No cheap cables, but not esoteric cables.

If you want to invest some initial cash to make your own cables, then;
