Speaker wire
« on: 9 Apr 2025, 05:01 pm »
Hi,

I bought some Nakamichi 12awg speaker wires. The way it was built was 12awg stranded wire going into banana connectors. The wire is not treated in any way.

Should I tin the copper wire with solder and then secure the wire in the banana connectors?

Thank you!

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

I could use it just as it came from the shop.
This is for speaker cable or speaker internal wire?

External speaker wire from the amp to the speaker.
