An RCA connector is a plug and a jack designed for use with coaxial cable for frequencies ranging from the very lowest up to several megahertz. An RCA connector is sometimes known as a phono plug and jack.
The male RCA plug consists of a central pin measuring approximately two millimeters (mm) in diameter, and an outer shell whose inside diameter is approximately six mm. The plug shell is slotted rather than threaded, to facilitate quick insertion to, and removal from, the female jack or receptacle. Contact is maintained by physical pressure between the slotted shell of the plug and the smooth cylindrical barrel of the jack. The plug shell is connected to the outer conductor, or shield, of the coaxial cable, normally at electrical ground. The center pin of the plug is connected to the cable center conductor, which carries the signal. In the jack, the barrel is grounded and the center hole is plated inside to conduct the signal.
now they make special 1/8" connectors for 4 channel. 7.1 surround russo is talking about can only be attained through spreading the left and right channels equally and combining them for the center and sub which is done through what is called "prologic" (for those of you who don't know everything already) I say the FM frequency transmitter cause its the easiest solution. If you have a head unit with optical in ... then your golden. optical connections are awesome! I hooked up the opticals from the DVD to the surround sound and it's amazing.
