I must be the only one with the compression tool then. Ever since I started making my own cables, I just had to have the compression tool. I use (I forget the brand) these RCA compression ends for 2.50 ea on RG-59. I just reccessed a 42" plasma with reccessed speakers all around. I ran 4 rg-59 to the plasma 50' away to the closet and 1 rg59 to a wall plate 40' for the sub. I havn't noticed any signal loss of any kind. Is this install of wire correct?? Should I be using RG-6Quad???
The ends I can purchace right now for my comp tool are: F connectors for 59, 6, and 6Quad
f male for 6, Q and 59
BNC for 59 and 6quad
RCA for 59

I really really like being able to make my own rca type cables using RG-59. Since I got my pronto and found this wonderful website I started to see what all you other techs are doing.

Again, anybody, is rg-59 good, sorry I mean the best for audio and video signals.

I get a box 500' RG-59 for about 60 bucks and the rca ends for 2.50.

Is this good?
