Default Where to buy a quality speaker terminal, RCA terminal, etc?

Good morning guys,

I was wondering where the best place might be to get a decent quality speaker terminal for my sub box I'm building.
I'll also have buy the female RCA jacks to solder on to the PAC-ADD GM24 as well.
Would bestbuy carry some good stuff?
I'd prefer offline store, since I'm gonna need it over the weekend and it's a little too late to order online.
Radioshack maybe?

Thanks,

Dan

You'll have better luck at Radio Shack than the big box stores for that stuff. Actually you probably wouldn't even find stuff like that at BB, maybe the speaker cups in the car stereo area.

Parts express would be the best place IMO. Rat shack is a good spot to pick up speaker cable and some other odds and ends, but their speaker building accessories are a little sub par IMO.

Thanks for the help fellows,
Yeah, I noticed RadioShack had low quality speaker terminals when I was building my old sub box few years back.
I'll take a look at that website, thanks,

Dan

Its much better to just run wire through the box and seal it up.
