I agree, except I had my cables terminated with bananas on both ends and then when my amp arrived I realized the binding posts would only accept spades. That wasn't convenient.

Depends on the brand as how they connect to the wire itself ! It is pretty basic !

im sure it is, i just ask because i just remember my speakers and receiver having like a "cap" on the back, and no place to connect a plug

(i cant look now because im at work)

but does this "cap" reverse or something? it looks something like this(even though i know this is a sub)...

sorry for the noob questions, im clueless with this stuff

Monoprice has these at $0.94 / pair regardless of quantity if anyone is interested. This is a nice deal.

This is where I got my plugs. Just remember folks... You'll need 1 pair of plugs PER connection. So 10 pairs for a 5.1 setup. 5 pairs for your AVR and 5 for your R\C\L\SR\SL speakers. You do not need a banana plug for your sub, that's a different cable entirely.

Unless the sub only has speaker level inputs.

BTW that is a really good price on the banana plugs. I paid $1.77 a pair back in February.

Erman_94 · 04-27-2009, 02:46 AM

just to make sure...if i connect them and the speakers play, does that mean they were installed correctly?

is it one of those "all or none" phenomena like hdmi cables?
