Looking at buying two new sets of 12' 2channel rca's and trying to get some recommendations.

I was planning on building my own, but I get too anal sometimes and it was going to cost me $70 just for the connectors + $100 for cables.

Then I saw a set with really high reviews and they looked beautiful....

They ended up being $500 each!!!!

Those two options aren't going to happen.

So what brands and models does everyone here use or recommend?

I'm looking to spend around $60 for the two 12' stereo sets.

    Puh-leeze. You spend any more than $30 for 20' of RCA's and youre getting ripped off.

    All youre wanting is a transparent signal transfer with no induced noise. You want to pay a little more than bargain prices to ensure youre getting good build quality and a solid connection but you can still get excellent quality for a good price. Just make sure theyre NOT shielded. Shielding can act like an antenna and actually pick up and induce noise that normally wouldnt be there.

    Look up Stinger, Streetwires, and JL Audio and get their entry level set of cables.

    Knuconceptz is also a great place for wiring and cables. All my power wires come from them. Their Krystal Kable line is excellent. 18' for $20.

    Knuconceptz.com

    Im personally using JL Audio's entry level line of RCA's. Crystal clear.

    Right now each of my RCA's are different. Stinger, RF, and Kicker. The RF one causes a tiny bit of noise.

    Hope to make things a little more consistent when I re-do my install this summer.
