Hi all, please can somebody tell me what type of connection is on the atrium outdoor speakers (6 if specific) I'm looking at using 16 gauge oxygen free cable (I hope that's correct)???
And wasn't sure if I need to buy additional connectors ( banana plugs) to connect them????? I'm just trying to get it all sorted before the speakers come. Any advice is really really appreciated

God bless:cheesygrin:

    No problem. Nakamichi plugs are awesome btw. Just bought a pack of these and they work great: http://www.nakamichiplug.com/product-0857F12.html

    Not sure if dual plugs will work. I've had issues with them in the past with them not fitting. The ones you're looking at on Ebay should work just fine, though.
