need with female trs pannel jack: where can i get them

[versuviusx]

ok i have these stage monitors and they only take speaker wire
so i want to convert the jacks on them to female trs jacks. that way i can just hook up a standard guitar cable from my mixer to the monitors.
so the first thing i need to know is if it needs to be TS or TRS. i think one is balanced and one is not. but i do not know which one to go with.
2. where can i get some really good cheap ones.
please let me know. i can't wait to get started on this project. thanks

TRS jacks for speaker signals is not a very good idea.

- it's not a good contact
- you short your amplifier when plugging and unplugging
- eventually someone will plug in a guitar-cable in stead of a speaker cable. This often leads to dead amplifiers (dunno why though - but I've seen it more that a few times)

what would you suggest then if you don't like the female (1/4) idea.
