Title: Looking for an unusual cable or the right parts
Post by: mattb on April 10, 2005, 01:51:36 PM
Wondering if anyone's seen anything like this. I want a right angle 3.5 mm stereo to dual RCA, which I know isn't unusual, but I want a short one and what would be the best for my needs would be coiled cable.
I could probably get the connectors pretty easily, but I haven't been able to find much int he way of coiled cable besides the occasional headphone extension and they are like 25 a Feet and I'm looking for someting like one foot.

It's to hook up my Creative Zen to a new Alpine head unit (in the car). I have the adaptor that goes form the head to dual RCAs and currently have a cheesy RCA to miniplug cable I don't like all that much. I'm trying to find a really clean way to do it and I think the short coiled cable and right angle plug would be pretty nice.
It doesn't need to be super-audiophile, but I don't want crappy molded connectors either.

Any ideas?

markertek prolly has them already made, or could be custom made pretty easily :)

Yeah, I'll probably just go find Ed. Although now that it's off season everyone disappears for a while.
I figure the coiled part is going to be the hardest to come by, but would make it nice and retractable.

Thakns everyone!
