Here's a cable I'm working on now. I used bitpower sleeving from frozencpu. It's not complete yet because I forgot which wires I soldered to which part and I have wait till I'm home to borrow my dad's multimeter

Sweet!
 
Edit: That sleeving looks nice.  Will try it out later.

Usually thats the case.

Also, quick question:
 
Anyone know of a 3-6 inch right angle mini male to mini female (right angle optional/preferred).
 
I'd make one myself but all female adapters to buy are too long for my needs. Having a pre-made female mini allows it to be pretty short.
 
If that isn't familiar, than can anyone recommend some (short plug) female mini cables for cheap? The male right angled can be DIY'd..
 
Cheers in advance.

Other than really cheap ones off of ebay, I don't know of any cable-mount mini's that are low profile.  That being said, most female mini's meant for panel or board mounting are quite small and could be adapted to a low profile adapter with just some heatshrink or some epoxy putty/Sugru solution.

Should have been smart about it and done it that way...but I really didn't pay attention which one got soldered were lol. Well as long as they get soldered the same way on the other end I'll be fine

Very nicely made, as usual.

Fantastic idea Fraggler! The sugru and surface mount should be perfect! They're for a conversion of some HD 215's to bluetooth.. I'll be posting a thread once it's completed.
 
Cheers buddy !

Also - here's an idea - since the male jack in question will not be removed once installed, it's not really necessary to have a female jack is it?
Would soldering the corresponding wires to the correct tips of the male mini on the bluetooth reciever work? I can't see why it wouldn't. This would dramatically reduce the limited space I have being taken up.(see receiver in question below)

I recon it would work. May possibly need to heat sink the jack plug at the top in order to limit the heat getting to the internal components off the receiver.
 
Or, open up the receiver and eliminate the jack plug altogether?

My first thought. If you're going to violate the warranty, there's no point in going halfway.

If you are up for it, and are trying to a complete conversion, then cracking open the case and removing the plugs altogether is a good idea.  Less complexity, fewer joints that could break over time.  
 
And like Ardgedee said, you might as well go all the way.
