Did you try Ebay? Seems to be the best place to get everything around here...

For the 2g look at your local welding supply shop. Very cheap. As well as some of the connectors for 4g and larger. As for the other stuff, maybe try a local audio shop as they likely have bulk.

Home Depot has been a good place for me. The only thing they didn't have was big gauge power wire and distro blocks, but it may vary by the individual store.

Most of what you need can be had for cheaper than ebay at Princess Auto.
They usually have a selection of car audio distro blocks, ring terminals, RCA's, power/speaker wire. For the big gauge stuff use their welding wire.

hey guys...i thught this was a car audio website... how about supporting your local independant car audio stores? it really pisses me off sometimes to hear some of the comments on this forum. if you dont support your local shops it will suck pretty hard when all u have left is x@#%&s cargo and ebay, think about it!
