RoyMcKie Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I have an SVS 20-39 PC+ in route and would like to have the cable ready when it arrives. Is there a general consensus whether to buy a ready built one versus build your own? I have much expierience attaching 50 ohm RF coax and heliax connectors, whether crimp, solder, or mechanican type, but I do not ever recall having to make a cable with RCA connectors. I am assuming the required 75 ohm cable to feed the SVS is RG-6 yes? It would be a dis-service to not take a moment to mention what a great site this is. I spend countless hours learning here over the last couple of years, but have very few posts. As I gain more expertise in the HT field, it will be shared.

Istari Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 After you have connected your standard cable tv connectors to the cable you can go to the local Radio Shack and pick up a pair of converters that will provide you with the RCA ends. A piece of cake and they work well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formica Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I soldered RCA plugs to standard coax cable (belden) with good results. Not more difficult than attaching coax and heliax connectors... Either way should give you a pretty respectable sub cable. Later... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
