I've got what may be a silly question. I've got a couple outdoor speakers wired and wondered if CP recommends using banana plugs outdoors or it would be better to go with bare speaker wire?

    You can use bare wire. I'd recommend 'De-oxit Shield' on the exposed strands to protect them from the elements.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Thank you, I've got them hooked up by Banana's and figured it was unnecessary. Will look into getting the De-oxit.
