Ok, so I ran my RCA's under the dash (6 channels) and low and behold, 2 days later someone ripped off my system. They left the cables in place, but broke the connection between the wire and the end plug. Can I soldier it back on? These are Knuconcepts btw, if that helps.
Thanks,

Rick

 

yes - needless to say make sure you get the same type of connection to make sure you don't create more resitance than needed.

 

soldering the connection will likely change the resistance of your RCAs. I would replace them if they high end cables.

have insurance pay for them if you have full coverage.

 

Unfortunately insurance is only covering $1k for stereo stuff.

 

RCA cables can make or break the quality of your system. I wouldn't waste my time trying to fix them, just buy new ones.

 

Knuconcepts told me to just re-solder them. I dunno

 

There's nothing wrong with a soldered connection. You would also need some sensitive equipment to measure the resistance difference between a soldered connection and a compression fitting... not something your average handheld meter could measure.

 

Ok, new ones it is

 

I think MacGyver, who generally knows what he's talking about,
was recommending that you go ahead and solder them just as
knukonceptz suggested, which seems worth trying to me as it's
easier than running new ones!

 

Ok, re-read. In other words, the difference in resistance is going to be so small that it's not going to be noticeable, right? It's the one going to the sub anyway.
