Hey all -

We recently moved into a house that was pre-wired for home theatre, and the subwoofer pre-wire is an RG6 cable. I was looking for RCA connectors in the places in my area, and couldn't find any. I saw some on Monster's site, but getting the 'quick-connectors' and paying 75 bucks for a crimper tool seems way too much to me. Is there a place on-line that I can buy these connectors cheap?

Thanks in advance!
