Default RCA Options.......

Hello All, I was just finishing up the install of my new system when I realized that the RCA connectors on the back of my Kenwood deck are too long. I cannot push the radio all the way back in I was thinking of getting the RCA w/ the 90 degree angle, but how the heck am I going to fit 6 of those back there without hitting one another. What can I do, are there shorty RCA extentions or something.

What are my options?

--Mike

Maybe this will work...
they are a little shorter than your standard RCA cables. What cables are you trying to currently use that don't work?

Those appear to be longer connectors. How much more room do you need to get that radio flush? 1/2 inch or less of try those. They are pretty cheap

I just put a Kenwood Excelon in and didn't have the depth issue... Seems strange... Are you bumping up against wiring harness that can be slid down?
