Questions about Patch Cables (RCA)

I need to replace my less expensive RCA cables running from my in dash EQ to my AMPs. Currently I have three sets of cables running back, 2pairs for my 4channel amp and a pair for my sub amp.
I'm replacing them because they are just long enough to reach and I'm getting noise.

I've been away from the Audio Scene for a while, can anyone suggest good cables (not super expensive) and also, what length cables? And a good place to buy them.

Thanks

Stinger Xpert series...most $$
Stinger Dream series...mid $$
Stinger Bullet series..Cheapest $$, and still in the "better class"

Are you going to share?



Is $26 for 16.4' Stinger Dream Series cables a good price? Also, how much better are stinger dream series then the Hyper Series? I'm replacing my less expensive 8 year old stinger wires, and I don't want any noise.

Also, is 16' a good length?

Thats a great price, and yes it should be long enough.

Re: Questions about Patch Cables (RCA)

What kind of RCA's did you have before? Also what are you going to do with them?

They are some old, low end Stinger cables. I'll probably test them and see which ones are still good. I know one set has a fray somewhere in the wire, because I can jiggle the wire and my sound will cut in and out, so if I can't fix it then I'll trash it. The others I'll keep around as back up, either for me or my friends.
