.......Instead we opted to use a commonly available cable so that if you needed longer, you could get it easily at any number of local stores, inclusing Radio Shack, Lowes, Home Depot, or even WalMart. The sockets are 6-conductor RJ-style sockets, but we only use 4 conductors. As a result, any 4-conductor phone cable will work, and you can buy those real cheaply at any of the outlets mentioned above.........

Does this mean that only a 4 conductor will work, or can you use a 6 conductor as well, but you only use 4 of the pins??

Hey Dave-
6 conductor cable will work, yes... You just use the 4 center pins. The 6 conductor plug seems more secure to me; I just know sometimes they are harder to find. If you found 6-conductor cables, by all means use them. They will work perfectly!

Sometimes our part numbers are real close together, and our website guys sometimes get confused about where some things should go, making them occasionally harder to find. I think Ding's link is correct.
If it is not working, what are you looking for, I can e-mail anything you might need.

Yes, a std phone/RJ cable will work if a longer cable is needed.
Pass the cables down the bilge vent hole on the port side and bring them up though the steering cable hole on the starboard side.
I actually pulled the cable throught the glove box drian hole in the floor. Worked out vert good because the shorter Kicker phone cable is the perfect length.
1 Question, Rather than use the 16' Kicker cable would it be better to buy a shorter cable or is the extra length irrelevant?
