Default Cable Length?

07 SCrew. What length cables to run from HU, under passenger door seal, to amp behind rear seat? I'm seeing 11.5 ft and 16.5ft cables. Is 11 long enough or should I get the 16? I'm looking at the streetwires zn5450, but they are discontinued at Sonic and I refuse to pay 60 bucks for them at crutchfield. 11 footers are in stock though (zn5435).

I ran 20' RCA from HU to back wall in my SCAB and it was too long by about 3-4'... for a SCREW, depending on AMP location, 20' might be perfect.

I found a 17ft 6-channel RCA cable. Hopefully that will be long enough. If not I'll figure something out.

The amp on the driver side is a 4 channel, those RCA cables are 17 foot. The amp on the passenger side is running a 20 foot RCA cable to it. You can see it running along the top, coming around to the amp. I wanted to make sure it didn't run close to the power lines. I have a Scab, I'm sure you will be fine with the 17's. Good luck on your install!
