What type of wire should I use with this?

It really depends on what you are connecting the speaker to. The speaker has 1/4" standard connectors as well as the speakon connectors. I'm using a speakon to speakon calbe to connect two of my speakers together, and then a speakon to 1/4" to go from the input of one speaker to my amp.

Hi David,It depends on the "out" of your amplifier end. But for the speaker both quarter inch and speakon inputs work. If you have speakon outs on your amp. That will be the better connection. The length of the speaker cable is also important. Try to keep it about 20 ft. The longer the cable is ....the more resistence you will have in getting the sound to the speaker. You have to twist the speakon cable to the right to lock it in instead of just plugging it in.

i just used 14 gauge electric wiring. it worked fine. the connections could take 12 gauge wire.

you should use 12 gauge wire, but you could use 16 gauge if not running long distance.

Kiyo, you could used this but the wire is rated for a lower amparage rating. If you are trying to run a higher powered radio, use a larger amp fuse holder for the wire. Another option you could use is to run a relay into your system so you could used the lower amp fuse and then cause this to run your relay. Look up how to wire a relay and that shoud give you what you are looking for.

Oh I'm sorry I responded to the wrong item. But the same applies. I'm not sure what wires are needed for this. If you take it to a shop they will more than likely provide them. Sorry about that.

I've used them with 16 and 18 gauge wire. They work well with both, but I ended up using 16 gauge for my setup.

I followed the Tessco Technologies automotive wiring guide which you can find online. It takes into account your load draw (amperage) and the length of your wire. For my purposes, I used 10g wire because my maximum load is less than 60 amps and my input wire length is less than 10 feet.

No anything will work. Just depends on how hard your gonna push them. I would recommend getting a pack of the banana clips that are 20$. Saves alot of time and wear on your fingers. And if your gonna push them as hard as I do your gonna want 12 gauge wire. But no smaller than 16 over 200watts. .

I use the Lincoln 0.35 wire, it's a good all around type of wire and it's inexpensive.

Bare wire is perfect. Just strip it no more than 1/4" and try not to use more than 16 gauge wires.

You should be able to use just about any wire with the same gauge as the ones attached to the sensors, since the current going through is minimal and overheating is not an issue...

I like 16awg speaker wire.it match my home theater installation,i like the big gauge.talk to the guys that do this for a living,they say all three are good.

It just has a spot for positive and negative so any wire will work with them I have wire from radio shack on mine

The wire should work with any system. Much heavier than the thin stuff that comes in a kit. We have it underground and also in a plastic tube where it crosses the driveway (strangely the signal seems to be lower there). Above ground should theoretically give the best signal but the chance of damage is pretty high. We rented a small trencher with a special attachment for laying this wire.

I used 18 and 16 wire size. I didn't like the screws that are used to hold the wire. Not well made. I use this for my Kayak battery to run my fish finder.

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

I like the Phoenix Gold 12 ga. wire sold here on Amazon. Better off w/o connectors. Just wrap the bare wire around the post at least 1.5 turns.
