Do you know if 14 awg fits most home theater amps on the back? I assume they do but will be tight?

It will but I doubt you need 14 awg unless you are running the wire great distances, like over 100 feet.

I believe so because it's the most recommended type of the commentators on here. I just followed what is favored and mostly it's hard for me to twist the wire if I go higher.

I am using Sony amps without any problem whatsoever but I obviously can not comment on other manufacturers.

Fits good very happy with this wire better than Monster cable and less than half the price.

it will fit fine but I used 12 awg with Sewell banana plugs on my Marantz amp. the longer your run the larger gauge you need. this becomes important around 25-50ft.

Yamaha has them posted near the bottom under specifications. Here is the link: http://m.usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/home-theater-systems/home-theater-in-a-box/yht-899.html

I'm a electrician 14 guage is fine it doesn't pull any amps bring led. You will be fine with 14 guage wire

I run a coax TV cable through this and it is very close to capacity. That's the best estimate I can give!What I think of as normal heavy-gauge speaker wire would mean two pairs would fit. I don't know how thick Monstet cable is. (And I never will, sorry,)- Mark

I have the 8040 in a 14 x 20 and have been extremely happy with them. I had to dial down the sub because of downstairs neighbors. But I think the intent of having front and back-firing drivers was to increase the soundstage anyway. 8040s are plenty big for an 11 x 13 area.

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

Yeah, they very well could. They have rubber pieces for pos and neg that stick out a little past the adapter giving you a little space if put right next to each other. My amp is like this and I use a rubber patch as a barrier between these. Just cut to fit and you can hardly see it.

I own one and would not recommend anything less than 14 gauge. Of course it depends on how far you have to run for supply.

The way mine are soldered I can't get to the bare wire to get an accurate measurement but the cable has 2x1.5mm^2 printed on it. I think that puts them at about AWG 14 or 15. That's also what I'd estimate by looking at them. However, since they don't list the gauge in the description it's possible that you'd get different wire on yours.

If you are using speakers that are rated 6 ohm or above, you will be fine. A 15 amp CKT will more than handle your power needs. I think you would need a 20 Amp CKT only if you had 2 of these running 2 ohm load speakers before you would have to be concerned with line sag. What I do recommend is a dedicated 15 or 20 amp CKT for your rig. It will minimize line noise from other house hold items.

O yea I'm pushing 2 boss 1400 watt 12" subs. The watt rating on your subs is the max they can take not how much they need to be powered

I have 6 sets a bit closer...I would use 12AWGIt's better to use the thickest wire so you have no drops over long runs...mine sounds amazing.I would recomend getting the sub and place it between the two speakers...it makes a huge diff but not needed.You actually get a full range outside.

First if you haven't bought 8awg speaker wire I would recommend not buying it, (http://www.audioholics.com/audio-video-cables/speaker-cable-gauge) for these reasons and the simple cost/difficulty finding compatible parts; secondly if you did buy 8 awg speaker wire because you've spent the equivalent of a new car on your speakers and receiver and wish to continue the trend I'd do some research and find a brad that is acutally designed for use with 8 awg, (http://www.avsforum.com/forum/28-tweaks-do-yourself/290438-where-buy-banana-plugs-accept-10-gauge-speaker-wire.html) 10 awg seemed to be the largest most audiophiles were going and they had to do alot of work just to get the connections to fit into banana plugs; Thirdly unless your speakers are more than 50' from your receiver and your running a 4 Ohm load 10 awg should fit the bill quite nicely and save you headaches and money.

With this kit you should be fine with a 12AWG. With a bigger AWG you will see less of a efficiency loss

I'd go as large as you can, so 4ga if it will fit. Amp works great for filling bass, just gotta spend time adjusting it, otherwise, decent unit for what it is.

We used 14 gauge speaker wire. On back of speakers used positive wires (could be red, white or striped) into red clip slot, and negative into black clip slot. On our receiver there are wire nuts that the wire (as above positive on red and negative color on black wire nuts) There should be an area indicating surround sound, rear speakers) We had a diagram that came with receiver that showed which speakers went to each jack and wire nuts) Hope this helps. Hope you have a diagram in your receiver book, that helped us or we would have been lost.

No, these amplifiers only have four push type connectors for a single set of load speakers. My speaker cables are quite fat, so I had to remove half of the conductors before they fit.
