loose rca cables

[ben k]

searched but couldn't find anything

my rca cables going into the back of my head unit are plugging in but obviously not right...was good for a while but is now sensitive to the slightest bump...they come loose and sub stops till the next slightest bump

a mate of mine had a go at squeezing the ends of the rca cables with pliers so they might plug in better.,..but hasn't really made a difference

anyone had this problem? anyone got an idea on how to keep them there on a permanent basis?

thanks for any advice

could always do the old trick you use with an extension leed.. tye it in a note if you knw what i mean, duct tape is what i used cause my splitters used to come out all the time.

Try some right angle connectors (http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.st...uct/View/P6632 )



These usually have a tight fit and may help solve your problem.
Otherwise use a bit of superglue or something similar.
You could also try putting a dab of solder on the outside to hold them in.

got dad (an electrical technician) to have a look at it today after trying several ideas....and it was the connection in the head unit the soldering had came loose...so he's soldered it back toegether and all good now

Same problem my brother had. I had to resolder his RCA sockets on the head unit. Typical problem with space problems at the back of the HU.

I thought the VK's were bad enough.
