Fantastic speaker plug at a great price!
Size: 5 Pack, Pattern Name: Banana Plugs
This is a product that gets the job done effectively, and at a good price. Banana plugs are used to clean up speaker wire - you can generally screw in speaker wire, but banana plugs provide a nice interface that allows you to plug in and remove speaker wire as needed.
These closed plugs do a good job terminating / hiding the wire. They fit very well into various components and amps that I own.
INSTRUCTIONS to install / use them:
* Remove around 1" - 2" of the white casing to expose the red and white individual speaker wires
* Strip each wire so ~1/2" metal is showing
* Make sure the plug end is screwed in tightly (this does not need to come out)
* Unscrew the base of the plug from the other end
* WithOUT twisting the metal wiring, insert the wire (match wire color with plug color; start with either one) from the bottom of the plug until the metal sticks out the top
* Have ~1/4" metal hanging past the plug
* take the wiring and drape it down the sides of the plug (just the smooth side, do NOT cover any of the screw threading or it will be very hard to close it)
* Spread the draped wiring around the plug as evenly as possible (makes it easier to screw in later)
* Screw the two ends of the plug back together (the side with the draped wiring will go inside the plug)
* If you get stuck while screwing it back in, unscrew and adjust the wiring
* Repeat for the other side, and you're done!
