What RCA cables are you guys running?

I'm having an issue with my RCA cables because I gotta push them in hard on the amp in order for them to work...I'm looking to get new RCA cables but I really don't know the lenght on them or what brand are recommended.

I have jl audio ones. I think I have the 20ft ones, but you probably can get away with 17-18 depending on where you amp is mounted.

Monster cable isn't overpriced junk they are just overpriced. I sold Monster for a long time and there is no doubt they are overpriced. Markup on monster is almost 80-120% of cost.

I'll will agree with this 100%. Knukonceptz makes some awesome cables for a wicked good price. Same build quality as monster cable at 1/4 of the price if not more.

okay maybe not junk i just don't have much respect for a company that blatantly overcharges for something.

Tsunami cables are decent budget cables, i used them in my last car without any problems. They look to be decent quality for what they are.
