Stinger SMRCAYM PowerSports Male Y Splitter RCA Lead

Marine-Grade RCA Y Splitter Built to Outlast the Salt Air

Product Overview

The Stinger SMRCAYM is a PowerSports-grade male Y splitter RCA lead designed to split one female RCA output into two male RCA connections ideal for marine, powersports, and outdoor audio installations where corrosion resistance and signal integrity matter as much as the split itself. At 30cm in length, it's built for tight installs where a compact, reliable Y adapter is needed close to the source unit or amplifier.

Unlike standard automotive RCA leads, the SMRCAYM is built to the Stinger PowerSports specification using tinned OFC copper conductors, nickel-plated machined brass contacts, and a flexible outer PVC jacket engineered to withstand the harsh conditions found in boats, jet skis, ATVs, and other powersports applications.

Features & Benefits

• Tinned OFC copper conductors: The tinning process coats each conductor strand to resist oxidation and corrosion — critical in marine environments where salt air and moisture will destroy standard copper over time.
• Twisted-pair configuration: The conductors are assembled in a high-rate twisted-pair layout for superior noise rejection, keeping your audio signal clean even in electrically noisy powersports environments.
• Nickel-plated machined brass contacts: The moulded connectors use machined brass contacts with nickel plating for a secure, corrosion-resistant connection that maintains integrity over repeated use.
• Flexible PVC outer jacket: The outer jacket is designed to remain flexible for easy routing through tight spaces — critical when threading cables through hulls, under panels, or along powersports frames.
• Polyethylene dielectric: The PE dielectric insulation provides excellent signal transfer characteristics while contributing to the overall moisture and corrosion resistance of the cable construction.

Technical Specs

Compatible With / Goes Well With

• Marine head units and source units with RCA outputs
• Powersports amplifiers requiring dual RCA inputs from a single channel output
• Jet ski, boat, ATV, UTV, and side-by-side audio systems
• Stinger PowerSports RCA leads and marine audio accessories
• Any standard RCA-equipped audio component

Note: This is a 1-Female to 2-Male Y splitter — it splits one RCA output into two. It is not a female Y adaptor and is not intended for combining two sources into one output.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SMRCAYM and a standard automotive RCA Y splitter?

The SMRCAYM uses tinned OFC conductors and nickel-plated machined brass contacts specifically to resist corrosion from salt air, moisture, and UV exposure in marine and powersports environments. A standard automotive RCA Y splitter uses untinned copper that will oxidise and degrade in these conditions over time.

Which way does the Y split work on this lead?

The SMRCAYM has one female RCA connector that plugs into a source output, splitting into two male RCA connectors. It is used to send one channel output to two separate inputs — for example, feeding a subwoofer amplifier and a full-range amplifier from a single head unit RCA output.

Can I use this to combine two RCA sources into one input?

No — the SMRCAYM is designed to split one output into two, not to combine two sources. Using a Y splitter in reverse to merge two outputs can cause signal degradation and potential damage to source units. A dedicated signal mixer is required for combining sources.

Is the SMRCAYM suitable for freshwater use as well as saltwater?

Yes — while the tinned OFC construction and nickel-plated contacts are engineered with saltwater corrosion in mind, the SMRCAYM is equally well suited to freshwater marine applications, ATV trail use, and any outdoor environment where moisture and vibration are a concern.

Is the SMRCAYM covered under warranty?
