Sorry and thanks

Your welcome. Anybody else have done this and can give some insite??

Look on Ebay for some Streetwires RCA ends. You should be able to buy them in bulk from someone. I have a ton of these things. I also happened upon 4-250' rolls of Tiff RCA cable and have been using this to make my own for every install since 2003.

How good is that Tiff stuff??

Any noise from your cables??

Also how is it per foot??

It's all good. NO noise from any cables I've ever used, even the cheap stuff. Don't believe all the hype. If you do everything properly, noise will not be an issue.

some of the cables have a drain wire, do i connect with the ground wire on both ends?? Or do i do it on the headunit side and take the other side and ground it to the chassis??

Some good reading material there :)

Thanks Adrian_D that was good reading. Now I need to find some good cheap rca ends.
