I want to replace my cheapo RCA cables that have proven unreliable.

Anybody used either of the ones below? Any comments? Better sources?

I think 15' should be enough to get to my zone controller on the driver's side. Is that the length you used?

I would stay away from Monoprice. Their prices are great but quality is poor. I've used a ton of their cables and almost always fail after time. I only use usb extenders and iPhone cables from them now.

I will be using KnuKonceptz soon but I think I'm going to use the Karma cables

But I have never used them before. I've heard nothing but good things on their mid-upper range cables.

It's been a few years but I've always had great luck with Monoprice. I used their hdmi cables in the walls of my house 10 years ago and in my boat 6 years ago and all is still good as new. Hopefully they aren't slipping.

Monocables, of you're worried buy extra since they're so cheap.

I have those exact mono cables and am questioning their performance after a few seasons. Buying em's the easy part. Rerouting those suckers from the amps to the ZLD is the really fun part!

Replacements are on my "maybe to do" list. I'm afraid after an FAE install I'm going to rediscover the bugs in the stereo I shrugged off before.

Be curious what you end up with.
