Default Speaker wire, patch cables? Specs, brands, stores & recommendations please

Just wondering what ya'll use.

What level of shielding?
Should I make my own patch cables to get the length correct?

Thanks, Glenn

I use some RF twisted RCAs as well as shielded Phoenix Gold ones, the PG are the only ones that can be seen going into my subamps, the rest of them are all hidden so i dont really care which ones they are...i have no noise problems

I used the way trick Monster micro cable. I love those! The main data cable is only as big around as one conventional RCA cable! And no noise!!! They ain't cheap, tho... sad to say.

Glenn....check out this web site.http://www.stingerelectronics.com

You can figure out what you need from that site and let me know. I will save you a ton of money on it and ship it out to you.

In the car audio world there are two things we make money on...real money. Accessories and labor...usually more on the accessories. The mark up is double or more of cost.

Also...watch the little flash screen and you will see my car in front a red tent at Daytona....sort of cool...lol.

Thank you soooooo much. I'll study the site tonight and put together a take off list for you.

My glasswork is progressing very slowly . . . so although I want everything in the garage, it'll be a while 'til I'm hooking anything up.

Oh yeah, I won best interior in a small vette show last weekend . . . and they haven't seen anything yet!
