I am going to make some DIY interconnects for a car audio project. I have some Star Quad and Gepco 61801EZ cable and I just wanted to know of some good < $4/ea phono plugs. Right now I'm thinking of using the
Dayton RCAGS-LK Locking plug or
Dayton RCAGS-ST RCA Plug because they look similar to some quality Neutrik offerings.
Also, would a generic 30 watt soldering iron be fine to use in making the interconnects? And finally what size tip would you recommend. Thanks in advance.

a generic soldering iron will work, however a 20 or 25w hakko dash would be the recommended option.

. How could you have inappropriate intentions with interconnects? They're just cables.

Other people plagiarized his work/photos, so he wasn't too inclined to have that happen again.

Oh. I'm willing to give up seeing the "bling" cables so plagiarism doesn't happen anymore.

Wow! Not only does it look good, it gave me a great idea, PVC tubing. Thanks! I never would have thought of using that.

Its actually two layers of PVC tubing inside the strain relief to help it grip the cable.
