Repairing RCA's? - Honda-Acura.net

***94civicEX*** · 01-02-09, 05:11 PM

Is there a way to put a new end on or repair RCA's?

My sub quit working as one of the RCA's split inside the casing. It's a clear casing so I have a decent idea of where the issue is.

I don't agree necessarily.

Something about tearing out my rear seats, carpet and head unit doesn't sound that appealing to me.

it depends on the RCA's chank...

i've seen RCA's which were basically speaker wire with RCA ends on them..but then i've seen crazy super shielded hiper mega copper ones too.

u make a valid point in not tearing out your interior. it is indeed a pain especially if an easy repair is viable.

Rick thinks I might need to solder a new end on.

Looking at the cost of new ends, it may be worth it just to get new RCA's. However, I'm not looking forward to tearing my car apart, lol.
