RCA length question
To anyone that's done a stereo in a W203 C230- how long of RCA cables did you use? I always do all of my own installs- most of which I am descent at. However one thing I can never do is guess the correct length RCA's- they're always a mile too long.

No one has done their own stereo? 5 meter (16.4') or 6 meter (19.6')? When I measured for the power wire- I measured from the battery to the garage floor- then to the very back of the bumper and came up with around 15'- figured that would give me a little more than enough. I am thinking the 5m RCA's will be long enough- but I know my luck. Then again- I don't want an extra 3' of wire in the trunk that doesn't need to be there. Just that much more of a reason for noise to be introduced into the equation.
