Good luck.

Like this one here http://www.ebay.com/itm/usa-seller-NEW-ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-8-PIN-MARINE-EXTENSION-CABLE-RFXMR6-RF16-RFXMR3-/271346002891?pt=US_Marine_Audio&hash=item3f2d7b6bcb&vxp=mtr

This should be a cheaper version of the same cable

The cable I posted may be a bit too long. For some reason I can't find anywhere that sells shorter ones for a decent price.

Post by: madboom0522 on May 15, 2014, 06:01:44 AM: Keith, I guess that cable would not be too long if you had like a 70" plus tv to be sitting way back... That would be cool to have then. Nice to know it can be gotten else-where's for less.

Post by: schweaty on May 15, 2014, 09:22:13 AM: i think there might be a problem with signal loss from a cable that long... i thought 6' was about the limit. can anyone confirm this?

I use 12 foot extensions, and have no issues.

This one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/130355418641?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and it came today. Looks really nice, and works perfectly. Just thought I would share in case anyone wanted to get one. :)

Title: Re: I'd Like To Purchase Turbo Cable
Post by: Bernie on May 17, 2014, 11:06:32 AM: Yep, from the same seller too. Just got to his store, and search Poly. He has at least one more.
Title: Re: I'd Like To Purchase Turbo Cable
Post by: Bernie on May 19, 2014, 02:02:20 PM: OK, quick update. I have been using this cable with no issues at all. BUT, today I decided to plug in the Turbo EverDrive, and although it navigates the menu itself just fine, once you load a game and start it, there are serious issues. Buttons don't respond, have a delay in responding, ect.. Unplugged it and disconnected the extension, and the TE worked like it should. So...for some reason, the TE does not like extensions at all. I seem to remember it also happening with other extensions I used, but i thought it was my controller as it was not as severe. Maybe it is some sort of power issue or something. I have no clue as to why the extension would work just fine with all my CD games, but have issues with the TE.

Post by: BT83 on May 21, 2014, 07:58:31 AM: Thanks for the info Bernie. Got the cable today. Works well. I dont have an everdrive, so i cant confirm whether this happens or not. Thanks again
