Product Description

These banana plugs will work with wire as large at 10 gauge. As you can see they have the new Black Chrome shell, which look stunning! These are the REAL GLS Audio plugs, not the generic knock-offs floating around. These are very Heavy Duty and the best Banana Plugs we have ever seen in this style.

I ordered these plugs never having used a connector like this before. They arrived in a generic package with no directions on the box. The build quality was very good to excellent. Once you get them open ( they unscrew in 2 places) the speaker wire slides into the round hole that would accept a very large gauge wire, the wire is held in place by a small set screw. The other side is designed to clamp the wire insulation, but my speaker wire was too small for the crimping to part to work. Overall very nice but should be used for very large gage wire only.

Don't shy away from this product based on reviews about the cable snugness and slipping. My cables are 12 gauge and fit in fine. Yes, it is a loose fit from cable into the plug, but what counts is whether the wire can slip out of the plug or not. Two techniques you can use with that little screw to ensure this doesn't happen (you'll need a tiny screw driver, by the way). 1) Tighten that tiny screw very tightly while keeping the wire and banana plug steady during the tightening -- worked on all but one of my 18 connectors. 2) If that doesn't work, strip enough speaker wire back so you can fold it back on itself to make it thicker. I did this for one of mine. 3) In all cases, make sure there isn't any surrounding very thin plastic coating over the wire after you have stripped it. You want to screw down on bare wire.

This was so much easier to install than my previous banana and post plugs that required using pliers to pinch the plugs onto the wire, and then try to sheath a rubber protector over. And unlike those previous connectors, this product shows no sign of slipping off of the wires.

For context, this was only my second try at installing plugs on speaker wire. I'm no expert. That's how easy this was.
