Deals on Instal parts in the Lower Mainland?

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the site and I have joined as I am recently interested in car audio once again. So I'm hoping this is one big loud and happy family? I had put a system in my truck about 8 years ago and although I had put some decent equipment in, I did not do it right. Poor quality sub and an amp that was way too small to drive both the 6.5" Rockford FNQ1614's and the 10" sub.
I am in the midst of redoing the truck audio but what I am hung up on is trying to find decent quality RCA cables, battery connectors, terminal blocks, fuse holders, circuit breaker and a capacitor for decent price.
The local shops that I can think of all charge an arm and a leg and to get the parts from Ebay in the US you have to pay shipping and brokerage fees out the ying yang.
Does anyone have any leads on decent prices in the lower mainland or for shops thoughout Canada that are fair with shipping prices? Any info would certainly help?

Lemme know if you can use any of this. I also have some 17 stinger helix rca's
and lots of stinger 1/0 and 4 guage power wire, and quite a few other misc items.

Cheers

and yeah used stuff ^^^^^^^^^ the guys on here are good about what they sell to others and you can always click on the "itrader" it will show ebay style feed back they have received from transactions made on the site or with people from the site

Hey wuff thanks for the offer but the equipment in the picture looks like stuff for the 'big boys.' My main power feed is going to be #4 guage - true #4 AWG that is, not the #6 guage that says #4 in most of the map kits - and #8 AWG taps to the amps. I will email you to find out if you have anything that I will be interested in.
I will check out Absolute Car Audio and "itrader," thank you Jo-Psyko.
Thanks guys for the help and if anyone else has anymore info don't be shy!

i would start with 0g wire so when you up date your set up you do not need to replace the 4g wire
if you go into a store and get 4g you will pay $150 or you can go to the wtb part ask for a 0g kit ,that will cost about $150 or so

i agree with checkin out absolute car audio.. one thing i was thinking is do the "high quality" rca's really matter? with sq or spl? or more of a waste of money or at least better spent elsewhere

i think its worth it to run better ones just for build quality... having RCA's go bad is to much of a pain in the *** to deal with.

Well I certainly would like RCA cables that are shielded. I have an aftermarket high output ignition system in my truck and I have already had noise problems from the coil. I just recently moved the coil from the firewall to ontop of the engine and this should get rid of that problem but I don't want to go down this path again. So maybe I can at least do it right the second time, not the third.
