It's all the RCAs you'll need to go from the crossover to the amplifier. They're 6 feet each, which might be a bit long (better than too short), and they're REALLY cheap right now. They're really nice Phoenix Gold cables.

Explain why I really need these! I dont think spending all this money just to get good cables is neccessary. Branded or not, a cable is a cable. Only really crazy audiophiles go with the expensive stuff. Almost all cables are the same. Components are very different though.

I will see if that amp is still around... :D

Those cables are only $20. That's REALLY cheap for them. You'll spend more than that on 3 pairs of crappy cables.
There is no point in buying a decent amp or a decent active crossover if your signal cables are crappy. You want the signal to be as pure as possible when going between the components.
Most of the good ones have a lot of insulation around them to prevent electromagnetic interference with the signal. The also will have good connectors, usually gold or silver plated (silver is a better conductor, but it oxidizes whereas gold doesn't).

This amp any good oh master: http://caraudioforum.com/showthread....hreadid=181550

The a/d/s at the bottom. Not sure if it is for sale still but maybe?

Well, it is coming my way! 155 shipped, not a shabby deal! Heh?

Time to get my HU and some cables.

:D

Crappy cables get you noisy static in your music.

True, but there are not that many crappy cables out there. Buying even Radio Shack shit is good enough. Spending an extra $30 or something to get better cables with the same components is not my way of spending money. ;)

Radioshack cables are pure shit. There is no point in getting expensive components if the signal going to them is crappy in the first place. If you're going to skimp on the cabling, you might as well get a POS amp to go with them... maybe a Power Acoustik lol.
At least get some Monster Standard cables. They're relatively cheap.
