Speaker wire -> RCA input on subs.

Alright, I'm planning on buying some new subs today, they are Rockford Fosgate P2 12" subs. These subs, like a lot of other I believe, have an RCA input directly into the sub, like...

if you go to the second thumbnail shoes. My current subs are soldered on.
Is there an adapter/cable that goes from speaker wire to male RCA? I looked on radioshack and this is what I found.

I'm not sure if this is what I want or if it is even what I need.

for the help!

Those aren't RCAs, those are speaker wire terminals. You press down on the button and slide the wire into the hole than let go. Just cut your wires and re-strip them.

I am positive. All the newer subs I have worked on are this style. If you want a close up on the terminal I can do that if you like?
