Are these used for 24 AWG? I tried Amazon basics banana plugs but they dont make proper contact with 24 AWG speaker wire.

Personally I've tried a few different brands and I think you get a better connection going straight and without any banana plugs I'm also a licensed electrician so it doesn't really matter what kind of banana plugs you put in having a straight connection is the best way to do it

Sorry, but I forgot to mention the obvious which is that if the 24 gauge wire isn't making contact it's a good indication that the these connectors simply weren't designed to be used with such small wire.

Not sure. 24 is pretty small. I ran my STRIPPED wires down the barrel and out the side before twisting tight and had no problem. The stupid question is of course, "Were the wires stripped of insulation?". Other than that, maybe your skinny wires are slipping to some part of the plug that is not part of the conductive system. If all else is good maybe try folding back the stripped part of the wire upon which the "screw" impinges back on itself to make it thicker.

The way they operate by screwing down around the wire, I believe they would work for 24 AWG.

Depends on the size of the wire used. 24 awg should be good for 25 feet at 240 volts.

I did not use them for car speakers but in my past experience, 16gauge wire should work fine for standard speakers but it would not be adequate for subs.

The answer is "yes", with qualifiers. I used Ocelot brand Banana Plugs and the holes are large enough for 10 AWG. The other qualifier is, I hope the 10 AWG is stranded. Feed my ignorance please. Why are you using such a large gauge wire? Thanks, JO

Depends on how many strings you intend to string together. But 16-18 AWG should do it. I used high quality speaker wire from Home Depot.

I used them for the 5 speakers (not the subwoofer)...I used Sewell deadbolt for this (I purchased those on Amazon)http://sewelldirect.com/Sewell-Deadbolt-Banana-Plugs-12-Pair.aspOne word of advice here..these deadbolt plugs need to be pushed with some force into the receiver but they do go in and fit perfectly

I use standard 1/4 inch banana plugs. I picked up several packs from Amazon and they work on all my audio equipment. If necessary, contact the people at Emotiva. I have spoken with them on several occasions and have found them to be most helpful and friendly. Enjoy your unit.

If the gauge of your speaker wire is between 10 and 24 AWG, it will be fine

Yes you can use banana plugs with these speakers,They will come with a plastic cap you will need to remove.

Yes you can use banana plugs. Actually it's te preferred method of connecting the speakers.

I'm using them with 14 gauge, no banana plugs just straight into the binding posts. As far as using a sub-woofer, that depends on what your use and location is. I'm using the tsi100's for my HT system and they are fine for listening to music w/o the S/W. If you're using them for Home theater, you may want a S/W for the very low bass and sound FX. What size depends on the size of the room it will be used in. I have a Polk PSw10 and it is adequate for my 12x18 den.

I'm not familiar with your speakers, and I know of any that come with cable if your speakers have a double connect (back) one indicating +&- with holes they will work, these cables are designed to be pushed into holes (banana connect) I hope this helps.

Any speaker wires will do. Kind of depends how long of a run the cables need to be but 16 gauge should work. No special connections needed but again depends on your receiver. I used what are called banana clip connections but just wrapping the wire around the terminals should work. The wire should have two colors so you can connect the positive terminal on the speaker to the positive terminal on the receiver. PS. Very good speakers but you should also buy a woofer the complete the set.

It depends on how far your speakers are to your receiver I used 12 gauge. Here is a link that might help you: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/172172-speaker-wire-what-size/

i have an strdh520, and the only connections for banana plugs are the front l/r speakers for some strange reason so i wouldnt go ahead and buy this many plugs cos you wont need them!!

They are pins and not banana plugs. I google the image of the back of one of your speakers and they look like they take whats called a banana plug. Often times, the plugs that banana plugs plug into can be unscrewed revealing a hole where you can snake in a speaker wire then tighten the screw on the terminal for it to hold in place. I cannot tell if this is the case with your speaker terminals. Nonetheless, your question is with regards to these terminators. If your terminals are in fact banana plug terminals, then use banana plugs instead. If not, I WOULD NOT use these as terminators for your speaker wire. As you can see, there is no insulation around these and if they touch, it will short out the speaker and can cause damage to your receiver or amplifier. Note also that the pins on these appear as though they can be bent. That is not the case in my experience. Not sure what material its made from but it is certainly not malleable. Once you bend it, it will snap off. So all in all, DO NOT USE THESE.

No. They are pretty tight i actually plan on reinstalling them with the copper 'u' clamp (i think thats the name). Works fine with standard speaker wires. Not sure of gauge but it is tight and a little difficult to wire them all up.
