Default RCA cable length

Got my subs, corner pod boxes, & amps. Still haven't decided on which NAV HU to purchase. Ready to purchase RCA cables. What length am I going to need. Jl amps 450/4 & 500/1. Going to have them mounted in a custom box behind the seat.

12' should be more than plenty.

If you want to be exact, lay a piece of string from radio to amp location, then measure it. Be sure to add a few feet for radio to be pulled out.

Any chance you can post a couple of pics of your sub box? I'm just about to start building mine. Thanks

My former C6 DIY boxes:

Round 1 with Polk db1040 and HiFonics amp.



Round 2 with shallow mount Pioneer TS-SW1201S4 and Kenwood XR-5S. If anyone is interested in this box (less the amp), with sub included, $125 shipped



Box dimensions:

Both boxes are from Vettenuts with Jl10W3V3 installed.

I used a 9' RCA cable and had plenty of slack left over. Here's a picture of where my electronics are located for your reference:
