| Re: DIY subwoofer cable RCA terminations ??
I have both the F-conn, Canare, and one other (PPC, I think -- it's marked EX6-XL, F-type connector).
The last one is a great watertight seal, but it uses the center conductor as the middle pin, so you have some quality issues there, and you can't use stranded cable.
F-conn is not that much cheaper than the Canare when you factor in tools. I've found them to be about 75% as good of quality as the Canare. Still good enough for DIY stuff, but I'd rather go the extra mile for custom installer stuff.
Right now I use the PPC stuff for F connections, Canare for RCA and BNC connections, and F-Conn for speaker connections. The F-conn crimp system is great for terminating speaker wire. Then I have the option of screwing on pigtails, spades, or bananas.
Best of luck.
