5 way binding post connection advice


looking for advice on hooking up 12 awg wire to binding posts. My speakers have a large enough hole in the post to run the bare wire through, so I dont need a secondery contact point as with an adapter. My amplifier and suwoofer have 5 way binding posts that I will need a connector. Locking banana pins sound solid, but I am looking for advice from someone who may have tryed the options. Thank You, and enjoy your holidays, Guycom

I wouldnt recommend tinning the ends of the speaker wire..
This would color the sound possibly or change the conductivity of the cable...
Try using a good anti oxidant... Caig Pro Gold to
dip the end of the bare copper wire into and then insert it
into the hole in the binding post and tighten down the
post... This will prevent conductivity loss and promote better contact with the binding post. The benefit of non oxodized copper is longer lasting cleaner signal.
Good luck,
Joe
