Rca male to speaker cable
 

Hello
Im looking to attach a male rca head only to speaker cable,the one with the 2 ends that seperate and you put into back of amp or stero.
Is there a adator to do this or is it a case of solidering one on,id rather avoid that and much rather make my own than pay vast amouts for the distance i want..
Any help on this be great...
I have the cable and rca head i just want to attach it too one end of the cable one end rca the other end wire.

How long do you need it?!

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

At the moment about 5 metres..
But next year im looking to extend to 20 metres

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Well couldn't you just get this for now and strip the plugs off one end?

Cost £1.82 for 10 metre

If you're really after decent speaker cable and are up to it, you could always get a RCA jack from Maplin or similar and solder it yourself

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Im looking into that now just get the rca to rca and snip the end i have did that already..
Im quite surprised rhat no adaptors or cable exist for rca to speaker cable..
I get a budget one and next year look into doing the same with a more expensive rca to rca ..

I already have a rca jack and cable.
Im thinking of giveing it a go as in soldering it on,what have i got to lose.Just have to get a soldering set

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Usually the ones that use RCA jacks to connect to an amp are bespoke to that manufacture, Sony uses their own plugs and with the expensive ones there are normally just speaker terminals

Just make sure that the central pin one has no contact with the outer casing and vice versa and you should be fine :)

Thanks for your help

Again thanks for your advice

Does quality in speaker wire really matter? Or it is down to gauge only? Some of the wires you find on line for like £30 - £600 a metre which promise an earth shattering experience sounds to me like a big con, or is it?

I liked that monster cable vs coat hanger article, which probably does say it all anyway.

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Theres a lot of truth in what you say..
But im not talking big amouts of money i mean as a cheap cable would be 50p a metre to a decent one at 1pound a metre,i wouldnt now pay silly money then again maybe the cheapist cable going is as good as the most expensive out there.

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Quality of cable when it comes to Analogue signals is quite important, at the end of the day it's down to what you expect to see/hear

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Is there any proof in that? Or like that HDMI thread where if you pay more then placebo effect tends to comes in to it.

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

Analogue (audio, video) is not the same as digital like HDMI is, and the quality of your cable is key.

Re: Rca male to speaker cable
 

I used HDMI as an analogy that people can clearly see. People have paid out and said the pic/sound/quality has improved, the old placebo chestnut. I know with scart etc it does matter but that wasn't what I was on about.

But as we're on about speaker cabling, it's about whether or not paying £1 a metre is the same as THX Certified cabling, apart from the gauge I can not find any evidence online apart from 'opinions'.

Should this be in Technology??
