thats not being cheap. i have made alot of my own cables. for fuk sake you could spend thousands in just cables,(fuk that). i have made rca's, speaker cables with 1/4 inch ends. and what ever else that comes to mind and is or applicable. i have noticed that some of the cables that i have made last longer than lets say monster cables. and you save about %75 $$$
just goto radio shack and buy your ends. get some solder and a soldering gun. if i was you i would take some junk ones apart first to see how the hot and the grounds are placed, then try it out for yourself.
goodluck,
