Solder them I agree, but get some pics up as well see if we can help.

A standard radio or aftermarket.

The only coax cable is the antenna? It does have a 12v+ feed along with it to power the radio amplifier.

Still use solder to re-connect, should be OK.

really? i didnt think it was powered? its just a simple coax cable with (what used to be) a little connecter on the end that clipped on my radio.

when i open the cable first there is black rubber, then loads of orange wire, then a white plastic tube and in the middle of that, a very very thin hair like silver wire
