Pre-Attached Banana Plugs

[supersix4]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone could direct me to where I could find Banana Plugs that were already pre-installed on the wire.

I was only able to find some monster ones for $500

...why?!

You'll end up paying for pre-cut lengths of wire, and end up paying a lot more. They really couldn't be easier to install.

Amazon does have some pre-cut lengths along with banana plugs to answer your question, but I really thing that's a waste.

Only thing you need is wire strippers, and honestly you can even get away with not getting those if you want. They're well worth the small investment though.

It is very easy to attach a variety of different types of banana plugs to 12 gauge or 14 gauge wire from Monoprice.com or elsewhere. That is a lot cheaper.

Just in case you are wondering, there are much cheaper pre-cut wires available. Monster is not a good source. Check these:

Remember that the CableSimple price is for one speaker. You need to order two.

They are not always very expensive. You can find high quality speaker cables with banana plugs that don't cost a fortune. Cable Simple sells this 10ft, 12gauge cable with banana plugs for $10.56. I have a pair and they sound excellent. Remember that you need two of them.

Buying 12 gauge wires and 8 banana plugs and wasting time to attach them will probably cost you as much.

2 for what? the fronts? what about the center?

For center channel, I recommend this MIT Speaker Cable. The price is $26,900 for 8ft, $27,300 for 10ft, and $27,700 for 12ft. The good news is that it comes with banana plugs.

LOL wow.

I know the emphasis here is on cheap cable, but I highly recommend this Goertz MI cable from Alphacore. You can have it terminated with bananas.

That's actually a spectacular price. Dammit, where were you when I was buying this the first time around?!
