RCAs

Um...Not sure. It is for my Chevy Colorado 07.

Just need something Shielded. I might just Settle with there Cheaper ones?

Need Because the Ones I have are not cutting it! Sorry but did not like them one bit! They are made very very cheaply. ( Not going to name because everyone Speaks Highly about his Wires/Etc.)

Yea I can't See paying 405 for 3sets of the 2CH ones. But I will see.

That is what I am Staying away from. Was installing and The Black One just Fall apart. So I resolder and called it good. But still not happy with them.

It has to Go back to the Shop. He is going to Set the Gains ( seeing as I have no clue how to) A lot of sound coming from Speaks When On/Off, Check all my Wiring just incase. Re Place RCAs With his. I can Settle With His Cheapest ones if they are Shielded.

 
English please.

If you are getting noise, I can say with about 98% certainty that the RCAs aren't the problem unless your soldering job wasn't that good. Just about every RCA out there is shielded and most are twisted-pair as well. Noise in RCAs just isn't an issue unless they are damaged. Grounding issues are the most common sources of noise in a car system.

 
I don't think it is my Ground. I bought a Ground Block thing. That u secure it with 3 Screws. New to all of this so I really don't know my problems. As far as the Solder job I know I did a good job.

Sorry for the spelling. That is what I lack on.

That only makes the connection simple, has nothing to do with the quality of the actual ground connection. Did you sand to bare metal underneath the terminal? Is the terminal near or on a major structural member of the truck or screwed to the frame? How is your head unit ground? Grounded to the factory wiring or grounded to solid metal on its own? Is your HU a Pioneer? Unless you can answer all of those correctly, then I would suspect grounds rather than RCAs.

 
I seriously doubt those $400 RCA's are going to fix your noise issue. It sounds like you are getting the old dry lube treatment if that is what they are saying you need. Knu's high end RCA's are built well. Does your HU have a good ground? What brand is it?

 
Going to Check Grounds on HU. I did not install so I have no clue how they are. Had no time to check today, Tomorrow I should. Going to Do the Ground Loop thing and See how that works. I have a Elclipse Navi Unit.

 
Well I Did the Ground Loop on the Back of the HU. I went to Take off Rcas and same thing happened again...This time the blue one fall apart. I am sorry but I will never buy those Rcas again. Also I am going to settle with the IXOS but there Cheaper version. I think it is 60 a Peice. So I will need 3 Sets of them.

I am going to hook back the Unit to see if the Speaks do that noise? Also when CC installed the HU they did a Shitty job on installing it. The Ground wire just fall out of the connector piece so I am going to solder that connection. Hopefully that fixes the noise prob?

Thanks

I'm gonna highly reccomend these: http://cgi.ebay.com/STINGER-Helix-Series-12-Ft-RCA-Cable-2-channel-SHX12_W0QQitemZ300190121438QQcmdZViewItem

The tip that you say is breaking off is not plastic and rubber, it's metal. No way are you going to break the tips on these. Nicest RCA's i've owned.

I can't imagine paying $180 for three sets of RCA's. If anything, i'd find a good set of 6channel RCA's, so i've only got one wire running, not three.

 
Well Truck is going into the shop tomorrow. I will let everyone know if the RCAs are worth it. ( that is if I can tell a difference?) They are going to fix everything. Including the Problem with the Noise from Speaks. Unless I fix it the other day? Not sure if I did...Seeing as the Knu Rcas hate Me. Going to get a New Battery Today a Red Top...Stock battery is a POS. They used a Cheap 5$ from Wally world or something.
