Default Rca cable choices...

What's everyone using brand wise?
I bought Stinger 6000 series, but they only came in 3 ft lengths. Looking at their 4000 series. They come in 18" lengths but lesser quality...chime in!!

Yeah I got some of the 18" basic Stingers and they appeared to be a good improvement over the stock LL RCA, but let me know if you track down some tight audiophile ones. Think I'm gonna upgrade my speaker wire under the hood at some point as well.

In my cars I always ran Street wires zn7. Twisted design. Have a 4 channel and a 2 channel set collecting dust in basement. I bought the zn1 .5 meter for my bike install. At 18" noise should never be an issue but Street wires have always been my preference. I would have gone higher end in street wires but only could source zn1 at 18". Rest were all 3' . I have 14' zn7's if you want them

Must be true!!! I read it on the Internet!!!!!!!!

I would honestly bet some cash that swapping my RCAs made a 2 click difference in volume alone on my system.

Yes, I would like 2 orders of snake oil please!!!
