Dual banana plugs for subwoofer connection

I\'ve been looking for these for a while now. Both RS and Element 14 don\'t seem to stock them. Great for quick removal of subwoofers, minimise the chances of wires shorting.

They can also be used on home theater receivers and speakers also - as it\'s a standard size gap. The screw down binding posts don\'t always offer the best connection - especially with large cables (>12AWG) used in front and center channels.

Ive used these many times. Makes an easy job of pulling the subs out quickly!

Uninterrupted 8ga from the sub to the amp, thank you very much

Probably a bit overkill for subs being driven with less than 300W (rms). Most common setups use the rear channels (bridged) on a 60-100W (x4) amp.

I\'m guessing you guys aren\'t running a single E-Audio 1000D or equivalent?

Try 30 times that power, give or take, and you start to want big wire

LOL\'s... don\'t think Jase here knows you that well, so stop showing off your audio-penis hahaha

Jase, don\'t think you\'ve even seen how big my current SPL amp is. 8ga is the bare minimum for subwoofer cable.

I\'m sure I ran into him at an Abtec soundoff when Olly\'s failcon was busy shaking itself to pieces

Yeah, I was in that falcon for a few minutes - couldn\'t handle any more than that! Definitely got a headache.

8AWG is what I\'m using for power wire to my amp. Jaycar now stock 0AWG - I don\'t think many on here will need it.

Lol the falcon.. is that thing still alive?

PS - I\'m selling up my SPL gear... tell Olly how good 9917\'s are

Do you have 2 of them?

I think the failcon is dead. Rear struts got killed by the wall, and the wall is in the way of replacing the rear struts. Catch 22 much?

Oh haha yeah I have 2 of them. Not many people know that.

As in dd 9917s? Bet those tings are monsters

[Scoobydoo]

Yep they sure are. Quite old though so quite small compared to some monsters of today.

The banana plugs don\'t quite fit the flimsy gold plated connectors, often found on stock sub boxes - the terminals aren\'t quite deep enough for a secure fit

I\'ve found these RS ones much better/tighter fitting (UK made), part no: 677-8759, $13.1 each
