there was an article somewhere about the quality of RCA cables, yes your cheap radio shack cables might be slightly worse then a name brand, but you will rarely notice the diffrence.
I cant talk much because we purchased a set of stinger expert rca's   $80-$100!!!!! but the ends are a soild metal end, and there is no way to break them off, and I had recently been though a few pairs of others because I just pulled them from the amp and broke them off

Monster is OVERRRR RATTED I have seen anywhere from 5 to 80 for RCA cables. you need to know where your running them, if its right next to a power wire, you definatly want the expensive ones, but if it is in a neutral location, the medium quality ones would probably work just fine. There is a local shop around my house that sells some, i dont know what brand they are, but they are tripple shielded, and my friend ran them down his 0 gauge wire with no interference whatsoever. Im no expert, but just keep in mind location, and how shielded they need to be.

yea i always run the rca's on one side of the car while the power is on the other side.. in my new case they will be about 2ft apart on the same side.. no problems there that i can see.

i personally disagree with monster being overated. but i have also been to monster traning's a few times. to an avrage person there might be a little diffrence but to an audiophile there is a world of differance and the tests that they do will show this. but what do i know?

Nothing is impossable, it's just more expensive.

All well-designed, good quality interconnects sound identical and test identically.  There is no advantage to using very expensive RCA cables, as long as they are well-made and properly shielded.

Just make your own if you can solder. The cable and connectors are fairly inexpensive. Star Quad cable is about $1 per foot and decent plugs can be had for about a $1 each. Parts Express carries everything you need to do it.
