Yes thats what it looked like. i went back to the house tonight and got a better look. The speaker wire is actually back about 12-14 inches from where the outer cover extended so I couldn't see it.

I know that overpriced speaker wire is a complete joke but what about a connector? Does it follow the same premise that cheap is as good as expensive?
