4.5 Wiring the RCA Jacks and Volume Pot Signal Wires
With the RCA Ground section done, we can now wire up the Left and Right audio signal wires.
When working with the RCA jacks we use the following procedure:
Tin the signal leads.
Put a puddle of solder in the center of the RCA jack.
Heat the solder puddle and slide the tinned signal lead into the center of it. It will
usually adhere immediately.
Depending on parts availability, we may supply wiring for the RCA audio signal wires
in various colors, stranded or not stranded — so it's unlikely that the pictures we are
using for this manual will match the wire color that you receive. It doesn't matter:
follow the wiring logic and all will be well. However, whatever colors you use, it's a
really good idea to be consistent as to which color is used for the Left and Right
channels. For example, you might chose Red for the Right channel and Black for the
Left channel.
Take the wires to be used for the audio signals and connect them to the RCAs.
