RCAs keep coming loose off Amp

[heimsothe]

Hey everyone

So I have my sub amplifier under my passenger seat and I am using the Knukonceptz bassik RCA cables running from my amp to my HU. About a month ago I started noticing that my subs weren't hitting as loud as they had been and should be hitting. I searched around and located the issue to be my rca cable wiggled loose from the amp. I pushed it back in and it was good for about 3 days and now its back. So my question is what do I do? I would guess I need to get new and better RCAs? With better connection and more solid. I'm thinking the rca just isn't holding tight to the amp so it wiggles loose from driving, bumps, and the subs shaking the car. What rcas would you recommend? Ive heard of locking rca connectors but cant seem to find rca cables with locking heads, maybe theyre out there and I should get them... I dont know. What cables would you suggest for me?

Thanks!

If the connection is good when they are plugged in, then dab some hot glue, or clear silicone glue to hold them in place.

You can also try lightly crimping the RCA so it is slightly out of round to see if it grips the ground ring better.

Sounds like you need better RCA cables //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Would you guys recommend locking rca connectors? Or would you say stay away from them?

Not familiar with locking rcas.if you already have decent rcas installed like mentioned above lightly crimping or possibly wire tie down right before connecting to the amp so rcas don't have any where to move should work

Yes i run stinger hp3m and they have the compression screw on fittings and they work great

They can work but I prefer regular RCA connectors that fit tightly, but not so tightly that they will damage the jack on the amp

I'm using my own setup, using Mogami cables and .

They are pretty easy to assemble and locks the socket perfectly.

I just crimp the ground ring a little, doesn't take much.
