RCAs are about 3 feet short?

[hondarider 10+ year member]

I just got done building and carpeting a small piece of plywood to mount my sub amp to and i plan to stand it up right behind the passenger side tail light out of the way. My RCAs are currently run down the driver side because my battery and power wires are on the passenger side. How would i go about fixing this? Buy female to female RCA adapter and a short piece of cable or an all new longer cable or run it along side power wire to get extra length?

If it's going to work running it along the driver side, then run it that way... trial and error first before you go spending more money.

Run them next to the power wire. It isn't an issue noise wise. Then you aren't running across the car twice.

running them on the same side can cause noise. personal experience
