[wgsj_fortvalley 10+ year member]

as said in title where can i buy bulk spools of RCA cable to make custom RCA Cables. found out that for a set of 2 channel rca' you need 4 wires and speaker wire only has 2. Radio Shack? thats were i got my ends at today and phucked everything up trying to use speaker wire from lowes.

anyways uve lookd all over Google and all they have is them pre made RCA's that arent custom.

ur urgent response is appriciated

doesnt have to be high end just doesnt need to not work like the speaker wire did and doesnt need to brake me.

didnt work:crap://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif my rca ends have a little screw and a place to crimp then it has these small a$$ boots that you slide over the wire and can barely get 1 piece of this 14ga speaker in the boot to crimp to the end. then i catch hell trying to slide the boot back up the wire and over the terminal. ive had a bad evening 2day

this is the mess i made.

maybe use smaller speaker wire??? IDK.

results could possibly be different if you used higher gauge, its gotta be thin enough so you can hook both wires to the rca male input. but i dont know what you have going on over there

yea i sawone of the tutorials. cat 5 is like really thin wires. like 20ga maybe so is that effective to use for car audio rca's? if so i have a load of door bell wire at the shop somewhere i can use then right?
