    Yes. I take that back. I think I may have paid $8/each for my current RCA's, which for three would be $24, so just a hair more than those connectors. But my RCA's before these were $5 each I believe. RCA cables are not going to make an audible difference unless they are damaged. For the cost and quality, what is there to be unhappy about? Did you build your own amplifier? Your own speakers? Your own subwoofer? Your own headunit? Then what is different about RCA's? They are one of the least expensive and least important "components" in an audio system. Much greater attention and resources (both time and money) can be and should be directed elsewhere in the system. Those people would be correct. Those people would be incorrect. "Sound" different? No. You can purchase shielded 2-conductor cable. You answered your own question. The difference between the coaxial and your current cable is shielding. You have an extremely low noise floor and presently have no noise without shielding. So, will shielding make a difference in sound? Not if you don't presently have any noise issues. With the exception that it could actually cause more noise if it's improperly shielded. And if you have some time to kill, search the old carsound forums for the arguments between Richard Clark and others about the relative differences between UTP and shielded. RC (and others) arguing for UTP. Honestly I wouldn't bother. It's cables, not magic. Unless one of them is damaged the only difference you hear will be based on psychoacoustics. Any reasonably decent cable will have low enough RLC properties as to not audibly affect the sound. And that's not to say I'm against people testing or experimenting with equipment. Objective tests are great...meaningful and helpful. Subjective tests are iffy, especially a comparison that's not properly conducted. Psychoacoustics can run rampant and often times those types of tests can do more damage than good as people think they "learned" something that didn't actually happen because the test wasn't properly conducted. http://consumerist.com/2008/03/do-coat-hangers-sound-as-good-monster-cables.html Saw a similar setup with a quite pricey RCA upwards of a thousand dollars.

    good fucking day, 92.9 on my PT SrA today! Congrats man!!!! SrA is what E-3? J Senior Airman is E-4! Not considered an NCO though, still in the airman tier. If I was in any other branch I'd be an NCO. We have all the responsibilities of an NCO without anything extra lol.
  5. That is a different Ultra. Ultra Linear I believe is another Pyramid-esque brand. http://www.carreview.com/cat/car-audio/amplifiers/ultralinear/ul1500x/prd_345269_1806crx.aspx

    Build muscle mass, upper and lower body. Weight is not the issue, it's just building muscle.
  22. People have their preffrences and stigmas against other bands. There is always going to be people who prefer other brands to another.
