I can highly recommend the Belden 8402.
However I am not so sure about car amps - what amp are you using right now?

Another Belden that is popular but I have not heard is the 1800.

thanks.
i was looking for unterminated wires for DIY interconnects. I guess mogami is only available among budget options. Even canare is out of stock at most places.

 

[sumchamp]

I guess Canare L2T2S is also a good option.

All the above cables are 3-core (2 main and 1 shield), so be careful of the topology while terminating with RCA. In a car, where the entire body acts as negative, there is lots of possibilities of picking-up interference.
In such a case while using 3-core wire (one of which is shield) there are two methods of termination.

1. Short the shield to the ground at both ends of the interconnect.
(or)
2. Short at output (ie. source in your case DSP) and leave it open at the input (amp). In this case, your cable becomes directional and you will have to mark arrows accordingly from DSP (shorted) to Amp (Open).

What DSP is it? what would be the distance between DSP and AMP in your install? is it a 4 way active ? and lastly what car is it? your cable and connecter choice will be based on the above.

Does the cable and connector depends on what dsp i am going to run it with? Possibly going with a Helix dsp. Length shouldn't be more than a meter. Currently plan to run 2-way active. At the moment i am just trying to figure out what cable I should go with in a car.

 

[balavignesh002]

Helix dsp

They have RCA female connector on board termination. Recommend to go with light weight RCA male connector on a flexible cable. Mogami 2497 is a good option. If you are looking at cheaper option take 2964.

can anyone recommend me online dealers for RCA plugs. I am looking for amphenol, switchcraft brands. I have used few RCA plugs from audiocrafts in the past. Want to explore more budget options before i go in for them again.

Anyone using MX rca plugs here, how do they compare to neutrik ?

Ideally MX should not be compared to Neutrik. These are professional grade connectors while the former is for general/ commercial use. Though they make some fancy looking and equally high costing plugs.

can anyone point me to rca plug sources ?

MNT CORPORATION - Chandrashekar-7358008024 ( Neutrik Dealers), talk to him and order the quantity you require. Other than this Google is your best friend apart from amazon.

 

[sumchamp]

Anyone tried Canare LV-77S?

Think they deal with Belden also. Some good solid core cables are listed. Will pay a visit there as it's close to my home.
