I have been looking to find one for 30.00 or less. I have found the following things in my price range and want to know which is the best choice.

all the following are approx 20 feet cables below 30.00

If you wanna run lightning Audio...Try the TPX1000-6 two channel interconnect or the TPX5-6-4 4 channel interconnect...These would be from the Storm line-up, which if I remember correctly is their competition line...As far as Fosgate goes...ummmm........There really isn't a difference between LA and RF....

Check out LA... https://www.lightningaudio.com

And if you want to go PG...Check out the ZEROpoint Musical Reference Series.....

The best of the best in my view....but opinions are like **sholes...everyone's got one

Moster Cable, if you're on a budget...it's decent stuff....

But if I had to decide outta the options you gave me...I'd go with the PG Tantrum

Great help!

I went with a slightly better set of cables by PG they are the Phoenix Gold Tantrum ARX760tln ...they just looked better what with 11-12 twists per foot versus the 8 -9 (whatever that means exactly) hehe!

I also picked up a 50' spool of "super oxygen free" Phoenix Gold 12 gauge speaker wire,Phoneix Gold 450 watt Amplifier wiring kit (8 gauge wires,cool silver and blue colors), and a Bolt for the battery

Thanks for the advice...I took it... posted_image

I get all my cables from an online company called www.KnuKonceptz.com . Their quality is A+ much better than most of the high priced competitors out their. If you want a high quality rca cable go for their Krystal Konnectz line. Trust me you won’t be disappointed. Here is a link to the rca cable you would need https://www.knukonceptz.com/detail.asp?product_id=KRY6M
