Hello All,

I'm thinking about learning how to make custom rca cables. Does anyone know if a site (with pics) that shows how to properly do it?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link ..but...I've had that site bookmarked for over a year now. Apparently the site has changed since last month and they are now charging for the info they provide. To get the pics you have to buy the CD. It's only 20 bucks but I was hoping for something a little more on the free side.

Charging? No charge shows up for me and I get all the graphics. Here's the pertinant one for soldering RCA cables: Conductor soldered to the center pin, shield gathered and soldered to the outer ring. Be sure not to use too hot a soldering iron which can melt the insulation.
