    i would just order it but i dont want the female end to just hang down. i want to use the flush mount type and soder the rca's to it. i will be using this type 3.5 mm female and just soder some rca ends to it.

    im going to attempt to use this with a line out converter to make an aux hook up for a stock radio that i can flush mount to the radio face. hope it is as easy as i think it will be!

    Nearly self explanatory once you get your ends. Your Ratshack link didn't work. Where are you getting the flush mount end and what is no the other side of it? Real easy to solder on the rca connections to wire :)

    3 leads. One will run to both grounds on the two RCA connectors, the other two will run to the connectoin on each of the RCA connectors themselves.

    Find some bulk RCA's and the rest will be more evident. Ratshack will carry them.

    Not sure how detailed. They will be +/- or pos/gnd

    The gnd/- goes to the outside of the rca connector and the pos/+ to the inside. They might label the gnd/- a "common". Either way pretty straightforward. If you get the parts and have questions ask :)
