hye i am going to do an install on a xbox, and i was thinking about putting it in the trunk, would 6 ft of wire be long enough to run it from the head unit to the trunk, i am thinking no but i may be wrong, also where else could i place the xbox that would allow me to remove it freely, keeping a docking station of hookups in the car and the house to move it in and out? i figured the trunk would be the easiest, but the hottest too!

any ideas fire away!

I highly doubt 6ft will be enough.

There's no way 6 feet will work if you expect to hide the wiring down under the carpet/seats. You'll need a good 10-15 atleast.

6 feet will not stretch even if u have it exposed

go with 15 feet

aight i have found monster cable that is 10ft, but nothing longer, can i simply go to raido shack and buy rca extenders? and then wire it up like that? i assume in theory it should work right?!?!

don't buy monster. Waste of money. Go to ebay and look for knukonceptz such as this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...741771140&rd=1

I hear their RCAs are very good. Of course you would need 2 pairs since you probably have video and sterio audio. Not sure if its a bad thing to have on rca of a pair not hooked up to anything. It may or may not add noise into the signal.

This might work for you as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

14.5 feet or more, depending on where in the trunk you locate it. If it's close to the cabin side of the trunk, 14.5 feet will be enough, further back, and I'd get more (that's running down the passenger side), probably around 10-12 going down the center). went down the passenger side becasue there was less moving parts there, and rca's aren't the cheapest of the wires to buy...

Get like 15 feet and dont bother with monster, something like stinger will do just fine..

damn 6 ft???!!! dude.... thats good for the amp to the terminal of the box.... but yeah man wire is wire just go 15.... or maybe even a little bit more if your wanting to hide it

No, in the case of RCA's, wire is not wire. Quality actually matters there.

what is your obsession with wanting to use the shortest RCA's as humanly possible?

thats what the xbox comes with, that has the xbox adapter built on to it......so without expanding it 6 ft is the max, unless i go monster which is 10

Yeah, like everyone says, you'll need more. I have 16.5" rca's running from the hu to the trunk, and I have like maybe 3 to 5 feet extra, maybe even a little more than that...

aight well what i am going to do just o put a close on this thread is buy 12 foot of video/audio rca, and connectors, run the 12 foot as far back as possible (i willl post) hopefully to under the rear seat, then since i have to go with the 6ft xbox cable anyways that will give me 18 ft in total.

thank you everyone for ur help
