it was meant in jest I forgot to add the lol at the end. If you were looking for that type of an rca you shouldve just asked. Everyone here thats answered have typical responses to try to help you. If you didnt like our suggestions thats fine but thats what most of us are using.

G'Day what I did was make an RCA cable with I guess what I would call high quality ends on it so I wouldn't have to use gender benders. Those things double your chances of having problems. I got the male ends that are tapered so they grip extra tight. I haven't had any problems in over two years. When I get home I'll try to find the name brand and post it if I can.

ive never cut an rca before so not sure what it looks like inside but that might have to be the move
I don't know about cut them off but perhaps you should put a deutsch connector on inline. So you can unplug your saddlebag, then have maybe 4 to 6 inch extra length between the connector and the rca connections. Also perhaps an emery tape and rough up the connector? Maybe they are just too smooth.

Where do you have the RCA Adapters at and are they the ones that are coming disconnected?
I have an SD 1200.1 amp in my saddlebag connected with Stinger RCA cables and adapters under my seat so I can remove my saddlebags when necessary and they never come apart.

I put all the connections under the side cover, I use a solo seat so I didnt want to have to get the wrench out to disconnect and liked the idea of everything in one spot. But if it keeps happening I might move them

Is it possible to wire tie them to another wire connection that needs to come apart when removing the saddlebags?
If so that may help in keeping them from coming apart.
Best of Luck.
