Does the backside wiring take 12-gauge wires, or do 12-gauge wires have to go on the side?

Stan....shown below is what it says in the listing, and I know we had the option to use side or back. Hope this helps!Simple Wiring OptionsBoth back and side wire capable, the SmartlockPro GFCI terminals allow for easy wiring options. Back wire clamps provide visual indication of proper wire seating, eliminating guesswork.

The 12 gauge wire is really thick. It is about the thickness of a rubber hair tie. I think you need like 18 gauge or smaller. Wire is smaller as the gauge gets higher.

In my recollection the wires are directly hard wired into the speaker side. They would require some type of splice though they are bare wired with spring posts on the stereo side. Really thin wires at that. Possibly 22 gauge or smaller.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I have a six seperate wires coming out of one comfortably. I can see 10 but 12 not sure. Maybe you should just do two side by side. Hope this helped you.

The end of the wires are a bare connection. You would use a connector to wire it to a 12V fuse protected circuit.

I would recommend using 12 gauge wire to minimize resistive loss which could effect how the regulator on the back of the panel functions. This wire is too stiff and heavy for direct connection to the panel, so I recommend adding a foot of 18 gauge wire to the panel end of the 12 gauge wire.

You will have to connect 3 wires together for each side (hot and neutral), the two that come into the box, and the one from the outlet you are installing. Use an appropriate sized wire nut for this. When you look at the package for the wire nuts, they indicate the different capacity for the wire sizes, most residential wiring is 14 gauge, but 12 gauge is sometimes used.

You can plug bare wires into both sides. I used 16 gauge Monster Cable on the back, and 12 gauge on the front between the receiver and the plate. I used banana plugs on the front to make connecting/disconnecting the receiver easier. This also made for a clean looking install, and I recommend this approach. If you were going to use bare wire on the front, don't go any smaller than 16 gauge--to ensure a good connection.

Yes only for the amp. The speaker wire you also have to buy. Id get 12 guage speaker wire.

?????????? black wire to black wire green to green ,,,, white wire to whitewire, ground wire should rear that the way mine was

Yea that's basically it, we used 12 gauge monster cables but just make sure to measure so that you'll have enough cable to set up all the speakers because the first time we bought the cables we didn't have enough for the rear left speaker.... And I agree with JR, you should buy a subwoofer :}

I'm not sure about 12 gauge wire, I used 14/2 (Coleman cable) and on one run I have 230' running 17 lights (Paradise lights - will add Approx. 3-4 more) directional (spot lights) I have one run 18 gauge approx. 50' w\20 lights (Moon Rays) and another 14 gauge approx.150' running 12 Moon Rays. I like the Paradise lights they have the leads coming out un like the Moon Rays I have were the cable goes up inside (loop). If you still have to go with 12 gauge, I would with Paradise (lead type) and the loop kind not so much. Might get pretty tight up around the loop.

Wire can be used on both sides though I would recommend using banana plugs on the front. Easier to remove.

As I remember, the wires are sticking out from the enclosure. In any case... Wiring these is really simple.

Not sure, but just to re-confirm, the item was purely a black wire. There are not other parts to it as the picture shows. At least that is how mine came. The instructions are the same as what you find on youtube. My suggestion is look up the instructions on youtube, buy a 12" ground wire, and do it yourself.

You have to run your own wires from the quick connection to the subs. I recommend nothing less than 16 gage but encourage to run 12 or 14 gage. Make sure to have some weather stripping for the subs AND for where the quick connections meet the box. A even better solution is to use silicone to seal where the quick connections meet the box.

I don't have any extra 4 gauge to check it but my 12 gauge is copper strand wire. I remember when I was putting it in I was very impressed with the quality. The only thing I would do different is the audio cable. Very small remote power wire and the connectors are cheap.
