What are you guys using for interconnects? What is Good, and what to stay away from. I am ready to make a purchase, and i would love some opinions. thanks

ttocs has some very nice cable right now for sale.
He has a roll so you can get him to cut it too length.

Of cousre you will have to make them up.

PM him. He will more then likely work with you.

i recommend ones that are on sale and use a twisted pair

knukonceptz has very good prices and nice cable. tough to beat unless you find something on sale

I just sold them to down rodeo actually, not sure if he is going to use it all but it is some great wire. I am about to take that wire out(that I just made and installed) to replace with PG zero point cable that I have been collecting.

I currently have a 4 channel jl rca, and a higher quality 2 channel jl as well. If you want them I will make you a deal on them, or if you are not in a hurry I will be pulling out the cables I made and there are a few various lengths, techflexed and ready to go.

i picked up several pairs of different length arx600 series from amazon pretty cheap. i dont have any noise issues.

I was just given a stinger hpm rca cable looks very good and it is twisted.
I would buy more of them after seeing it.

the hpm wire is what I had, it is twisted pair and a thick braided shield to help reject noise as well.

I plan on using most if not all of that hpm you sold me. I need 4 runs of nearly 18 feet each to replace my Knukonceptz wire that I suspect I damaged during installation of some items. That and the Knukonceptz Krystal RCA connectors seem kind of cheap to me. One is stripped out so bad that the barrel pulls off every time I try to pull the RCA from my equalizer. I've heard others with this same problem.

I bought some nock-off nakamichi(so I am told on diyma) that worked really well and I think I was paying about a buck a tip for them. Check the bay if you want they had a good selection from cheap to expensive.

Thanks for the tip. I was looking into re-using the Knu's, but the ease at which they strip out makes me nervous.

nah f-that man for the price the ones I got were great. They were gold plated, nice and tight fitting and had a rubber grip as well. Hell the pg tipsI have been collecting are nice but do not have a grip which kinda bugs me with how tight high-end cables always are to get on and off.

we have started using chord there not cheap but they do work very well!!

Is there any advantage to splitting the signal in the beginning or at the end? I will have to split 2 channels from the EQ215i to the XS 4600. I see there are male and female available, not sure wich way is recommended?

Do Option B. You will have less interconnect runs going to the amp which means it will be cheaper and you have less wires running along the length of your vehicle so there is a lower risk of interconnects getting damaged or picking up noise. In short: Option B: One RCA with two "Y" adaptors or Option A: Two RCA's with two "Y" adaptors.

Option "B"
It will turn out a cleaner install with less of a chance of trouble.
