Need advice on adapters
Hello All,
I have installed speaker wire around the ceiling line of a room. The wire is now in the process of being concealed by crown moulding. I chose a 12 gauge stranded wire product based on Polk Audio's recommendation for wire length (over 75 feet for one of the rears) for these speakers (RM7 Satellites). But I see now that there is no way that the little terminals on the speakers will accomodate 12 gauge stranded. :eek: These little speakers come with those dumb spring loaded crimp type connections where you press down on a little lever and then try to shove the wire in. :mad: I need to find an adapter of some kind that I can attach to the ends of the wires that will fit into the terminal connectors, or maybe there is a way to retrofit the existing terminals with something else which would hold stranded copper thicker than human hair?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, or advice on after-market products which may be a solution to this problem.
