    can I splice RCA cable? For example, if it's too long can I cut a section out and shorten it?

    Yes, i've done it many times. Just do a good job at soldering it back together and you'll get good audio.

    shortening and re soldering on the end is no big, as for splicing pieces in or wires together, that can cause sound degradation so i suggest going too long as you have and putting on a good end with a GOOD solder connection. if you want to t off then buy a t adapter
