Hello,
I am desperately looking for an RCA cable with regular speaker wires as output to replace mine which is no longer usable.
I have searched everywhere but I can't find it!
Thank you in advance

I already looked at Conrad this morning, and I only found stuff like this:

But we have to solder...

Hello
What do you want to connect?
Speakers to an amplifier?
What surprises me is the use of the RCA standard, which is rarely used for speakers.
In the US, they sometimes used - or rather: used to - this:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/214TSAQ16SL._SL500_AA300_.jpg ???
(In this case, what would you want on the other end? bare wires? terminals?...)

I could only see the last photo (the other links don't work).
But I believe we understood each other well.
Why not make these cords with male RCA plugs?

I understood why the links are not working: you "stuck" punctuation on them without leaving the proper "space" on each side.

Yes, I saw, I just corrected it
But you said: "Why not make these cords with male RCA plugs?"
How to do that?

Male RCA connectors cost a few cents. One must know how to solder without melting the plug and, of course, without creating a short circuit (but we can insulate the solder).

First, I’m not saying that such cords don’t exist.
Try this very comprehensive mail order catalog (they're near my place):
https://www.conrad.fr/
I’ll let you search, it’s a real jungle...
Then, you can "sacrifice" an existing cord (for HP, of course)...
Or, if you have the means, here’s a shop, also near my place, that does custom work:
http://www.derotronic.net/down_for_maintenance.php
The two addresses I’m giving you are trustworthy, I’ve known the first one for 35 years (they had a different name) and the second for 15 years.

Very well.
Last option: getting it done by a serious and equipped buddy. You really need to be careful about short circuits on speaker outputs.
The soldering isn’t fine, but a fairly thick gauge multistrand wire has to fit into a rather cramped space.

"But how is it that this type of cable is impossible to find?"
"You buy an RCA cable, cut it, and strip it, it's as simple as that."

Yes, I want to connect a pair of Sony SS-SR55 Surround Speakers to my Sony MHC-7710D:
And I have to use RCA/speaker cable

There really is no other solution, because I really don't see who could do something like that for me!
And I don't really see how to connect my surround speakers any other way...
But how is it possible that this type of cable is impossible to find?

So, there!! I don't know. I'm an "old school" guy. There is a profusion of stuff that I am not. I have a good stereo system that is enough for me.
Note that in the 75/80s, it was a hassle too, but in a different way. Still with fewer "things."

Attention:
If it's a cable for HP, yes. (1)
If it's a cable for amplified HP, no. (2)
The first carries currents of several amps. (1)
The second carries very low currents. (2)
I haven't had a good look yet.
I have to leave you, sorry.
I will check back on the site this afternoon.

Okay, I'm still going to request a quote for custom cables, but if it's too expensive, I'll get some stripped cables instead:
But you told me that the 4 cables I showed you would work, but are there any that are better than others (because the price differences are huge) and should I get analog cables (https://www.materiel.net/) or digital ones (https://www.materiel.net/) or should I just go for the more expensive cables?

Analog or digital, it's about cable, metal...
Digital cables may be less shielded, because it's less necessary.
For prices, there isn't really any importance except for durability.
The insulation (shielding) doesn't matter in your case.
Speaker cables won't be affected by interference, no impact on sound quality.
However, the size of the wire and its conductivity can have an effect (if it's long enough).
That's also why a setup with 16 gauge cable would be a bit better.

If you think you can hook this up, it will work.
Be careful of short circuits.
Uh, you're speaking Chinese here...
I'm really inexperienced when it comes to HIFI!
If you can find me a cable on matériel.net that I just have to cut one end off to be able to plug it in, I'd be very grateful!"
The + of a speaker is not a polarity in the same way as for a battery, a diode, etc. It simply means that when the signal alternation is positive, the diaphragm moves forward.
Making a mistake would only affect sound quality, in terms of acoustic phases.
In a multi-way setup, it is important to respect the polarities for this sole reason. In fact, everything can be reversed. If that's all, it won't change anything.
An outer one that encases everything, the negative - is the first one you will see when removing it.
An inner one that separates the negative and the positive + which is inside the former.
