You just pull or unscrew the red/blackbits enough to expose the hole and trap bare wires in the old stereo.
What he said
Yep. I have a few systems that require skinned wire ends. No big really.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers!
You could always find the pressure clamps for speaker wire and install those instead of the rca type
Indeed, a visit to Richer Sounds (Or similar) will sort you out. Just some old school speaker cable stripped at both ends.
Secret project is either a spy satellite…or…a drum set.
( Could be a bunch of spent beer barrels )
Definitely a drum set
Meth lab. Definitely a meth lab.
Rock band drum set lol
@@magnanimus9692 probably one of those good meth labs like they have in those trailers!
I cant understand how Cap can be a PC gamer for many years and know so little about PCs
@@TeenTeenFpv Well clearly! :D
I swear by PC for gaming but I only know superficial knowledge about PC stuff...
@@neurofiedyamato8763 its easy to learn when you get around peopl that care
"I have a 5900x and a 3080 with 32 gb of ram, it's a relatively decent gaming pc" lmao, no that's a very high end PC. The only way to make it better for the time is to custom liquid cool it, lol.
I've been on it for a while but I just game, I usually don't study it as I just like gaming. But it does seem to come in handy at times.
I appreciated Grump’s Ace Combat corner. The man’s a freaking legend 🫡
I really love it!
@@WyvernFalken You know you and Grumpnik should meet up someday. He seems like such a nice dude, and I think you both would get along *great!* ;)
"32 Megabits of ram," lol you can only play Strikers 1945 with that kind of ram. Anyways, love your vids! It really helped me out for learning the steep curves of DCS!!!
Laughed as well when he said that, don't think his PC could turn on with that ram!
yeah, Cap is not the best with computer hardware^^
comanche just needed 620k. And it was a pain int the bum to make that much available.
My first computer was Oric. I think it had 8-kbits(?).
I think I had 32mb of ram when I was playing Janes USAF 20 years ago
Cap I'd just like to say that I've been watching your dcs video for 2 years now and you have had a huge influence on me.
After watching your vides for a few months I just had to get a pc of my own and get flying. I picked up a good starter pc and hotas and track ir just like yours and was happy for about a year, then I decided to upgrade with new motherboard to accommodate an m.2 for fast loading. Went from 8 to 32gb of ram. Upgraded my graphics card to a Zotac 2060 and went from a Ryzen 3 3200 to a 5 5900x and upgraded psu too.
Also got a Oculus vr to fly with and its amazing.
But gaming isn't my first love, I race bikes which is very expensive and I'm a firefighter here in the UK so I don't get alit of time to fly, usually 9 or pm onwards.
I watch all of your vides every night before going to sleep.
So I'd just like to say a massive thank you. Please keep making all your cool videos. And I'd loveto fly with u somewhen.
you are GPU bottlenecked for sure
Lol a firefighter in the UK with no time to ‘spare’ lol , do me a favour mate , I work alongside side you guys as a paramedic and I have to be quiet when I go out for shouts in case I wake you guys up , just general banter mate 👍
Wow, you guys have really impressive setups. Thanks for sharing 👍
And nice to see Grump on the camera btw
Lol, I still need to do one of these videos for my channel. Some of these are fantastic!
The set ups are mind blowing to me. I am 55 years old and wished I would have done this 10 years ago. Thanks fellas.
Just do it anyway, it's never too late :)
@@CakePrincessCelestia Thank you, RD. I think I just might
The only thing stopping me from building a sweet flight setup is the thousands of dollars needed. 😂
@@Studio23Media Probably the lowest entry point with the highest immersion level is getting a Quest 2 and VTOL VR. Runs on a 970. Any CPU back to probably the first Core i series could do it, certainly the 2nd gen would be enough. With DCS, you need to get flight controls and it won't take you long to realize that it's better to have actual pedals and separate stick and throttles which will be quite a few hundred bucks already. So yeah, if you don't have anything yet, it'll easily be 2-3 grand in total.
Did you got your set up???
„Skil, so which peripherals for flight sim do you wanna buy?"
Skil: "Yes."
🤣
Great to see the luscious setups but especially good to see Cap & the Grump himself - actual "Grumpcam" 😁
The real me isn't much of a secret. 😁
@@WyvernFalken how did you attach that setup to your chair
@@drewpluto2716 ruclips.net/video/G5xeDbYrp74/видео.html
Those connectors are for bare wire. You can tin the copper with a soldering iron to keep it from oxidizing too much if you like, but its more or less just a bare wire connector. Strip the ends of your speaker cable, twist the copper wires to keep it tidy, tin if you like, the red/black piece will either be spring loaded or you unscrew it a bit, insert wire, tighten back down. That's it.
Lovely setups guys! Used to build actual flight simulators for commercial airlines, fascinating to see game flight sim setups.
Thank you GR! As a former combat vet I appreciate your content and attention to detail. Your videos help me get through my PTSD episodes and my undying passion for aviation/technology.
Hey Cap, I think you just need some speaker wires, and you strip the plastic off the ends, put them through the holes in the connectors in the amp, and the same thing with the speakers. One speaker wire actually has two copper wires, and you need to connect the red connector on the speaker to the red connector on the amp, and the same thing with the black. And you should be good to go.
thxx
I was gonna say the same thing. Those are low-tech, red to red, black to black :)
Those old "pre-cheap-banana-connector-stuff" connectors are actually kinda fast and "handy" when I now think about usin em. Have same kind of connectors in old JVC amp...
Who would have thought, the most exciting post on GR would be the gaming rig setups :D
I am glad to see i am not the only one with a wiring mess✌
Awesome rigs guys! Thanks for sharing!
WOW. I’m not fighter plane geek but I do appreciate cool gear and these are all amazing! I dig that one set-up that is hooked up to a water bong. Must keep it very calm and groovy.
We just say bong.
Thanks for the insight on you guys rigs. I also loved the dogs.
Phew, nice to see some VKB gear at the end there! I've just "splashed" out on a VKB Gladiator Evo Joystick and Omni Throttle setup, although I've had the T. Rudder Mk IV pedals for a few years now. Love their products. Nice setups everyone! Cheers for sharing!
I got the evo gladiator nxt whatever premium a couple months ago and I love it. I'm kind of regretting not going all out and getting the high end base but I needed that twist grip to start. Too bad they dont have a throttle yet.
@@animalmother3526 I find the stick base with omni throttle and left hand joystick grip is far superior to my old CH Products Pro Throttle. Being able to change the resistance via the dry clutches makes it feel much more like what I imagine a real throttle feels like. I don't use the twist on my main stick, but I do use the twist on the throttle side for wheel brakes. Very handy as the T.Rudder pedals don't have toe brakes.
Recently got myself a Winwing Orion F-16 setup. Couldn't be happier, aside from having to redo my axis stuff when I want to play the Apache.
Right click on the volume icon in the taskbar. Click "Sounds" go to the "Recording" tab select your microphone click "Properties" go to "Levels" tab and you can adjust "Microphone Boost". You can go up to +30dB which is 1,000x louder. Should allow you to get pretty much any mic to the level you want.
Get this man an audio engineering degree. I'm an audio engineer and I work with so many people who cant grasp the fundamental idea that Dbs increase exponentially.
Nice setups ! Thanks for the video Cap. Let's me know what to work towards. (Even though I have to face the fact I will never get there on retirement)
Thanks for the tour.
This was GREAT! loved it!
6:36 "water, water, 15 seconds, 15 seconds!"
Holy fuck. Was not expecting that for the first time I saw caps face
After this episod I hit the bell. Im a fan of this chanel cuz i love planes and ur sense of humor. Now i know u drummer as well ! Im not flying myself in dcs but gonna look for it maybe in future (ones i try with mous and keyboard) ;) no comment . Cheers !
Scott's rig is insane. I love it! It's just the kind of excess I demand out of my own gaming puters
just want to say thank you for allowing us to see your setup`s thanks again cap.
some very cool setups there!!
I have those terminals on 70's speakers. Just push in to expose the hole and insert bare speaker wire into hold. Let go and the spring tension holds the wire in.
I'd call it a terminal rather than a connector. Red to red, black to black. I use improperly tiny stripped cat6 wires with mine. Sounds amazing!
Cap, first time I've seen you 😆. I didn't know you had this video up. I was wanting to see the setups you guys use. very nice.
Nice outfits, keep up the good videos you all work on. I enjoy them
Hi Cap, the connectors on the back of your old stereo amp are push button. You push it in and insert a bare wire from the exposed hole in the top which is covered when it is not pressed. André in Sydney
Yep, I just realized I'm extremely poor xD
Awesome rigs, guys!
I'm happy DCS is not too bad on the systems anymore, even my 1060 handled it ok but the 3060 is butter in 1080.
Cool Walkround. The Spitfire picture Skil has was painted by my old Neighbour Barrie Clarke .
Yes it is. 👍
I have been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and I have watched your videos and I like them. I was wondering how you had a setup with DCS, and I was thinking about a gaming setup for me as well, and maybe trying to get my oldest brothers in to as well. I am a US Navy veteran and a F14A Tomcat squadron mate that was based at NAS Miramar and was deployed on the USS Nimitz as part of Westpac 93.
I’m rocking the full warthog setup and I absolutely love it
With your speaker output connectors, just stick the end of the exsposed copper wires (from speaker) into the connector, they are screw in or spring loaded.
These all beat my ZX81 with the 16k rampak.
If anyone wants a more detailed review on any of my stuff let me know and I can put it up on my channel.
Can link it from here.
@@grimreapers wilco
Grump, just LOVE that setup bud!! What is the link for setting up joystick and thrust to your chair?? Thanks!

VIVO Steel Universal Bracket Pole Mount
Thank you for this. I wish more people would share their setups so us noobs can see how you do it. I think the second version should be of you actually flying, use same mission from each perspective.
Cap I love your set up! It's not dirty, all that hair is extra insulation to save on heating. Even Pickles knows the cost of gas is crazy.
Thanks for the visual Cap, a lot easier following a face with the voice.
Scott using that threadripper for exactly what it's good at: Loadsa lanes. Also loltroll with the left-ear-only just as he mentions sound.
The amount of air he's injecting into the water loop with that reservoir setup scares me though.
So is that a Roland TD-50 module?! I have an e-drum set-up right behind my gaming rig too!!!!! I knew you were cool!
Some great setups! Recently decided to finally get a a winwing stick. Nice to see so many using their stuff. Hopefully they come back in stock soon, I had to sell my old stick to get it XD.
Was expecting this to come up, watched your twitch VOD of your Carrier Command session as well as a part of the last Wolfpack session (wanted to see if you've been practicing before the actual mission again) and actually I took a look at the stream site to see whether I could expect another Wolfpack episode since I'm kinda waiting for it, but apparently you guys didn't do one last weekend. However, I kinda miss the Carrier Command content on the RUclips channel. I liked what I saw from 10 days ago. Sadly, oder stuff gets removed automagically by twitch (unless you disable that somewhere, actually). Wanted to watch the older session that you apparently had with Kortana as well. TL;DR: Shoutout for Carrier Command on _this_ YT channel.
0:53 Must be a VR immersion seat thingy something...
1:09 Looks like you have to screw bare cords up there.
1:32 Your ultimate flight sim hard-a-ware solution! BTW, do I see proper Crosswind pedals there? Finally! /)
2:36 Probably your best upgrade within the last few months :) - too bad you're having issues with them...
2:54 One of the best you can currently have for DCS, probably only beaten by a small margin by the 12x00ks.
2:59 Good guy.
3:02 3080 has 10 gigs, more recent models with 12 gigs exist as well though. Definately only bested by the 3080ti (12g) and 3090 (24g) and 3090ti (24g). I "only" got a 3070 and it does the job with a G2 at full res pretty darn well. I'd consider everything above that headroom for antialiasing and SSS > 100%. In other words, your rig is totally VR ready.
4:08 Veeeee Orre!
8:10 Wasn't aware that you could do so much with that thing. Well, not useful for me in VR, I guess :D
Can’t wait to upgrade my PC. Amazingly my AMD athalon and AMD RX550 let DCS run fairly smoothly. Soon I will be on multiplayer.
Seeing different DCS control layouts really helps me decide what kind of set up I want to eventually purchase when I start getting into the game myself. Definitely a purchase well worth it when I have enough money saved. Also couldn’t help but notice ArmChair's border collie! My favorite breed of dog an I have a 5 year old border collie named Sadie :)
You need this equipment if you want to fly real world Starship Enterprise.
These rigs are insane and unnecessarily pricey.
awesome,
cant wait to get a new pc, cant run dcs for nuts right now
Skil has a perfect looking setup. Wish we had seen the chair. Looked like TeaCypher had an actual cockpit chair maybe?
From what I could tell, everyone's using wheeled, swivelling desk chair for flight sims except TeaCipher. Which is a bit surprising. IMO the biggest single improvement you can make to desktop flight simming is to get rid of the desk and the swivel chair.
I'm 2/3rds of the way there: I use an Ikea armchair, monitor on a mount that can lower it into my eyeline, HOTAS resting on armrest-height furniture next to the chair. This is already much better than flying in a desk chair - I can use the joystick and headtracker much more comfortably and precisely. The next step will be to fabricate some mounts so I can rigidly attach the HOTAS to the chair.
This is great love seeing what you need to play and dam way more then I thought also can you please list the crews you tube pages
You guys are an awesome group of lads, nice setups...even Cap's ghetto rig! lol
Cypher's setup is absolutely immaculate!!! unreal... But i will also say every ones is looking pristine as well!!! Very well done Cap, another great montage video !
Grump, what rudder pedals are you using? They look unlike anything I've seen before.
Absolutely awesome setups guys all of you.
OH Scott, I feel your pain with the G-skill ram. going through the same thing right now lol
The red and black speaker terminals look spring loaded. If you push then does a hole open up in the top into which you can poke some stripped speaker wire?
As soon as I saw the drumset and Master of Puppets on your monitor I knew I liked you for a reason
Cap`s setup reminds me of that kid in school who showed up for football practice with boots kept together by electrical tape. Who then scores a hat-trick.
Love the drums!
Master of Puppets on deck! nice.
Thanks for the show an tell its impressive!! I dont feel bad now for little bit I have as im amatuer radio hobbyist
Real Grim Reapers Squadron be impressed,usn 84-88
Don't feel bad, we all started somewhere and speaking for myself, it has taken years to get what I have now...
thats not just a pretty ok gaming pc thats an excellent computer
It certainly is.
re the 70's audio setup? Not sure what connectors you need, but if its the speakers - you can just stick the wire in and screw them closed?
Scott wins the best PC award. 👀
sweet not cheap set ups. Wish I had Grump's monitor when I was working a research lab. Would have made things so much easier.
Strip off the insulation for about 10mm and run some solder into the end let it go cold and press the plunger and slide in the wire.
thx
Tinning wire ends is a pro move 👍🏽
Huh, I'd always imagined Cap to look like Biggles, complete with leather flying helmet and white scarf... 🤔
looking to get into this thank you
Haha, I love that i'm not the only one with the wiring mess! Interesting to see the Stream Deck...not entirely sure how necessary it is.
Awesome, thanks Cap!
Thank you guys for that i love the Carrier landings ! Gary K
Super tidy setup Skil, and the only one on VR?
Thanks!
Yeah, some countries have less in terms of military training for jet fighter pilots than some of these here.
I believe that the red and black disks on the, receiver side, speaker wire posts pop out to reveal banana plug receptacles.
thxx
The "secret project" in your room in the beginning is certainly a drumset if you ask me :)
🇯🇲hope to have a setup as great as your guys' one day; but right now i gotta finish my computer science degree and deal with student loans. Love your content guys 😁
Where did you get those small scale (diecast?) aircraft? I used to have some in my younger days - I fancy getting a few for my room.
Old guy here. About those speaker connections. Push or pull the red or black connector they’re spring loaded. Feed stripped wire through the hole at the base of the connector, release button. Boom HiFi!
some very nice rigs there .i got a new computer built and cant wait to start playing the game but my 3080 needs to be RMA because it wont stop throttling at 65c even know its set at 83c limit . i dont have a 5900x like you guys just a 5800x
Awesome!!! Surprised no one is running Thrustmaster Warthog set-up.
Can you stack rank each members combat performance versus their rig. It’s amazing how wide ranging each members equipment is. Also, what are you internet connection speeds at home?
Nice stuff there. I have a Ryzen 1600X with a GeForce GTX 1650. Is that going to get me anywhere with DCS?
Nice drum set!
0:58 I guess it is a drum or so.
The feet look suspicously like something the music industie uses
Tea Cypher’s MFD LCD is such a cool idea. I need to find a good way to do that
I love the dogs at the end that was great
I was starting to film my pc for this vid and I turned around and they sitting there staring at me so I decided to include them.
MASTER, MASTER, MASTER OF PUPPETS ARE PULLING YOUR STRINGS 💯🤘🏻. Okay i'm so jealous of skill his setup 😍 it looks amazing, only thing i would add is 1 or 2 monitors. But with all that fly gear i see why there would only be one screen xD
Secret project is a drum set, those are cymbal stand legs sticking out of the bottom of the blanket
Cap, a gaming pc and a drumkit? This is a PERFECT room!
Some serious rigs!
How is the digital drum kit going? I’ve been wanting to build one out of some acoustic shells for a long time
Try gently pushing against the outputs. Probably uncovers the hole to put a bare wire through. Release the cap, and it's held in by spring tension. There's no sense pulling or twisting, that just breaks it so it won't push in. It made for quick setup back then, unless you were one to tin the ends.
Chances are, if you tell us what the stereo is, someone will chime in with which type they are, push or pull.
