Dash to trunk RCA cable length? May 10, 2007, 01:31:59 PM Whats the shortest length of rca cables that can be used in these cars? Both lengths down the middle and down the passenger side? I have 17' in there now, down the side, but not sure if getting better 13' ones would work. Quote Selected

I have a bunch of slack in the trunk also, possibly enough to reach the rear of the trunk but can't check this moment (may have just been the remote lead that was too long). Quote Selected

Dash to trunk RCA cable length? Reply #5 – May 10, 2007, 02:20:35 PM Pictures?I've been using two pairs (need 3 total) of some rca's that came in a wiring kit (scosche I think) and a radioshack gold rca (hard to unplug, potential to damage amp when disconnected) from my home theater for awhile now. Want to go matching on all three, along with something thats actually shielded. Swapping equipment around so now's the time to do it 100% right. Quote Selected

Reply #9 – May 10, 2007, 03:00:04 PM 50 feet sounds like motor home, not car, wow lol.My cars PO left a big fat pair of RCA's and a big fat power cable as well as a remote wire in my car.

Dash to trunk RCA cable length? Reply #10 – May 10, 2007, 03:01:49 PM No I am serious. I had to route the thing around all kinds of under the dash. Then along the door sill. Under the rear seat. follow the contour of the outside edge of the trunk and around to the middle of the trunk opening. I trid to hide them the best I could. Thats what took up all the extra wire.My 88 Cougar I think I used a 12' I ran it straight down the drive shaft tunnel. Quote Selected
Dash to trunk RCA cable length? Reply #11 – May 10, 2007, 03:36:48 PM 25 or 30' wasn't enough? 50' is enough to zigzag in between everything in the car, to end up with only a couple feet left at the trunk. I'm assuming you have no serious noise issues, but I'm sure there's a bunch there. That's a lot of wire to pick up interference and have a lot of voltage drop by the time it hits the trunk. As long as it works and you're happy with the sound (probably still better than stock), thats all that matters I'm really hoping to replace my JL e6450 with an Eclipse XA4000 or Alpine PDX 4.150 sometime soon. The JL's got like 30% efficiency! Don't need 6 channels anymore either, ditched the rear deck speakers. Quote Selected
