hey everyone. I just ordered the dayton locking RCA's and i have been having problems with them. they are the ones at parts express.

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...umber=091-1270

There is a small hole on the top side of the rca where I thought the ground was wire was supposed to be soldered in, makes sense theres no where else to put it. Well i tried to use as little solder as possible, but the black jacket that screws over it doesnt go all the way down due to the solder in the way. AM i missing something or does this design suck? Or am i just supposed to screw the ground wire in and not solder at all????

Thanks in advance

-Jeff

That is very easy as well... some people just have trouble catching on to litz braiding

Let us know how it turns out!

I never use that hole for the ground for that reason. It's generally better just to lay it in place a little further up and solder it on if you have room. Try and take another pic if you can so we can see what you are dealing with.

I just braided an 8 strand then down to 4 for each channel does get kinda crowded in the mini, but not too bad.
