In not too long of time I'm finally about to install my system. I've got an ARC Audio 2500CXL and a 4050CXL. Any particular brands of wires you guys suggest? I want to go SQ more than anything.

 

lots of people like monster....personally i'm going to use fusion cables from radioshack, for the RACs and such. a bit cheaper then fusion and consumer reports rates them higher if i remember correctly...also i work for the shack and get a nice discount =]

 

Could you hook it up for an ORG member? hehehe...

 

Rockford Fosgate wires are good, 8 guage

 

dear god step back from radio shack...just turn around.

 

hahaha.. ok. ::facing the other way::


now what?

 

Head to your local audio shop and begin finding somthing that dont' suck monkey ****. Anything by Esoteric will be fine.

 

awesome.

i love your system, dude. makes me want to overbudget and finish my install... hahah... hopefully we'll meet one day at a err... meet. too bad you're in NC. i'm in NC, too... but it's NorCal here.

 

I'd hate to sound dumb and all but what is Norcal? SOrry i'm not from NC orginally

 

hhaha.. Northern California and Southern California is SoCal. Most east coast people call us Cali. I still think that's weird.

Anyhow.... What's your take on Arc Audio and Rainbow?

 

Very good. Good choice, just dont' skimp on wire and install.

 

radioshack RCAs are very good. i don't think you really know of the product i'm talking about or have done any research on them. i wouldn't use anything else from the shack especially not power wires. but a distro block is also fine from the shack also. though i can understand how you would natuarally think anything from radioshack is ****, which generally it is, but in case of fusion wires they are some of the best. if you don't believe me, perhaps consumer reports you would believe.

 

you clearly don't know who I am and thats fine, i'm glad you have your opinion but trust me, I do know my stuff. THis car audio stuff is my thing. Consumer reports, no i dont 'trust them.

 

fair enough.

Wow... the Esoteric wires are hard to find. I'm able to find a mess of Streetwires, but not Esoterics. I'll have to ask Demitrios at ARC to see if he's got hookups. hehe..

 

Sorry guess i should have clearifid...Esoteric is the company that ownes streetwires, tiff, golquest...that kinda thing.

Here you go.http://www.eau.com/

 

yeah, i saw that, but esoteric is a line of wires, too, right? is streetwires any good? do you suggest any particular kits or wires to do a full car?

my turn to be ign'ant.

 

Streetwires is kewl, so is tiff...Yeah esoteric uses their name for homeaudio. I think these or monster should be good. Is there better? Yeah hooker audio i think is seen as better, but you pay for it too.

 

What's this i hear from Demitrios about some Swiss wires that are supposed be crazy. what brand are these? Not that i'm going to get them... just wondering.

Did you get a chance to talk to Robert Zeff at the CES? Wait... did you go to CES this year?

 

I'm not sure what your refering too. No I didnt got to ces this year...what did he have to say?

 

not too much. he's always pretty quiet. ARC's got a couple new lines coming out for more of the consumer market now... and they've got a new line of great looking subs. hehe... lookie lookie. http://www.kankar.com/arc/arc_eng.html

 

I just found a great place.

Don't just look at their prices online. I emailed them for a quote and the prices they sent me were much lower, AND they don't kill you in shipping.

I ordered three sets of Stinger Dream Series RCA's 16.7ft(5M) at $25/each (website says $32) and some right angle adapters. They only charged me $7 shipping. I ordered Sunday and got an email Monday that everything shipped and receive my items by Wednesday.

The person who I emailed, said they must advertise certain price online in order to be an authorized dealer, but they are willing to work on pricing.

 

very cool. thanks. got a contact name?

 

I just emailed the email address listed. But the person who always replied to me was Trail McFarland. They have been very fast with email responses.

 

NICE. sanks!
