XS Cargo gets Monster stuff in. When I was in Princess Auto the other day I saw these AR Cables in the gold 'egg' packaging for a fraction of what we used to retail them for. Good cable there for modest pricing.

Off topic but - My personal goal for integrating a capacitor into a car install is to help the car deal with the amp, not the other way around. It's usually hard to tell if the amp really sounds or performs any better with a cap but I can tell right away if my headlights stop dimming

well i have used generic rca in my civic with no...zero...nadda sound... then i used monster because it had cool ends and zero....nadda sound...... now i just use generic rcas and solder on the nicest looking ends i can find and voila.... judges love them... but i follow some common sense rules when i run my rcas... now for power wire...... iam redoing my civic with one 4000watt amp and two 400watt amps... so i have been looking at monster, steetwire, stinger, raptor, and tsunami. after carefull inspection of all wires flexibility, thickness of outer coat, actual material used, and price......... i settled for welding cable...... it had the most strands, was by far the most flexible, had a decent sized outer coat, and was made with pure Cu not Cu with Ag/Al plating. for me it was the best of ALL worlds... why do the big car audio wire manufactures all now coat there Cu wire and carge us more for it... to me Cu is at an all time high right now for price so its an easy way to keep there costs down.. but for me its just screwing the end user which is always going to be us...
