I want to use Monster speaker connector tips with this unit, but the inlets seem small. Does anyone know what type of connectors will fit this unit?

Mini banana plug connectors fit. They move a little though. Not overly tight fitting.

It seems to have the regular wall holes that you put the stripped bare wire into. I stripped the ends of the wire and put them in that way and it worked perfectly. Fantastic sounding unit.

The tips should fit in the slot. The slots are about 1/4 big. Maybe contact Monster personally?

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

I hooked it to system with 8 ohm impedance and works perfect!However, buy an oversized electrical wall box or an open audio box, otherwise unit fitting will give you headaches.

Hi David,It depends on the "out" of your amplifier end. But for the speaker both quarter inch and speakon inputs work. If you have speakon outs on your amp. That will be the better connection. The length of the speaker cable is also important. Try to keep it about 20 ft. The longer the cable is ....the more resistence you will have in getting the sound to the speaker. You have to twist the speakon cable to the right to lock it in instead of just plugging it in.

Use the edge of a knife, what I did was cut in to the plastic maybe about 0.25", then twisted the knife to pop the plastic out.This exposes the banana plug inputs- worked fine on 4/5 of my speakers, I scratched the brass terminal a little bit on the 5th one though, so don't be too overzealous.

There is no speakon connector on this amplifier. The output connectors to speakers are banana connectors.

I don't get what is so difficult about these connectors. You unscrew the tip, insert your speaker wire perpendicular to the direction the pin goes....then screw in the tip. Then you insert your banana clip into your receiver or speaker. I bought a couple of sets of these and they are not difficult to figure out.

Evelyn, It depends on what kind of output your amplifier has, and what kind of input your speaker has. These connections are XLR, which are NOT usual for most amp/speaker connections. I suggest you have a neighbor look at your amp/speaker arrangement before you buy. It will be an easy determination for someone with even modest experience. John McNeill. Springfield, South Dakota

As others have stated, a straight end will fit, but angled connectors will not. I would say try it carefully. If it fits perfect, but if you have to force it....stop and make sure you have everything in place correctly

Hi,What do you mean standard speaker wire? if you use a bigger wire than original is better for the signal.

Monster is a brand of speaker cable. this speaker selector will work with any brand of speaker cable, although as mentioned in several of the reviews, the speaker wire cant be too thick. In my opinion, monster speaker cable is overpriced. Hope this helps.

You're impededences are not correct for your speakers and amp. Look online for the wiring diagram. I found it easy. And make sure you are providing a good ground for it.

The Flexpins MKII have a bigger tip than the older Monster Flexpins. Some fit into the older friction speaker terminals, some don't. My solution is to use a drill bit slightly larger than the Flexpin tip and drill the friction speaker terminals a bit larger. Drilling doesn't damage anything. I've got several 'old school' stereos running and this seemed to be the best solution to a simple problem. Regards, RagnartheViking

sorry took so long getting back but i have been ill. When i used these they replace a set of Kenwoods that sucked. I got them from Crutchfield which supplied adapter tails with the Kenwoods, I reused them.Either get the adapter tales/harness or cut and solder.

Unable to answer that for you unless you give me model number of that type of Speaker your trying to connect it to. The professional Edison their are a lot of types as well. I'm Jack of All Trades so check every equipment ports you'll find the right cable for each of them. Hope I was able to help you in some way.

My speakers hook to an amp, that has the same connects as the speakers, so I used regular speaker wire. If yours has jacks, I have used cables that had the proper jack, and cut of the jacks on the opposite end, to hook the speaker.

I recommend a good heavy duty speaker wire with banana plugs. Search Amazon in speaker wire with banana plug ends. On the sub, I use a Yamaha 10" which is somewhat overkill for the Polk speakers. I've been using juat the two Polk speakers on their own and the bass from these speakers is crazy. I turned off the sub since the bass was too much with both.
