Ok, here's the deal...I remember reading something about where you can build your own rca cables, buying the wire and connectors and hooking it up yourself. So with that in mind, I came across a pretty good deal(I think), some guy was selling 20ft of Monster Cable's XLN PRO rca wire for 10 bucks, the problem is they have no connectors at the ends. So I taught, 10 bucks isn't really all that much, the material itself must be worth at least that. I tried Monster but they don't sell the connectors separately, what are some possible solutions to put this cable to use? Could I just use some generic stuff from like Radio Shack?

Just on a side note:I wouldn't have bought this cable for anywhere near what Monster is asking for it. I'm a firm believer that wire is wireposted_image, just had nothing to lose and the cable seems well constructed.

Regular Connectors should be fine...as long as you hook up the positve and negatives right all should go well. (Is it two conductor or three?) Buy some good connectors to go with it, it'll help a bit. As long as you know how to solder you should be fine. And soldering those babies has to be perfect.

go to a Monster Dealer and ask them to sell you some jack ends...I am not sure who you were talking to at Monster, but I have bought many pairs of them in the past...they do make them and they are available to retailers, so if you want to keep with monster, see your local dealer and he should hook you up...
