Will the Dayton accept 14 AWG or 12 AWG speaker wire in the rear terminals?

It will accept 14, that is what I am using with out a terminal connector. If you were going to use 12 you would need to add a Monster or Monoprice type connector with that amp. http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-109438-High-Quality-Copper-Speaker/dp/B0097JLRZM/ref=pd_cp_e_0

What's up Brandon.... I'd go with 12-16 AWG. The larger the speaker is the larger AWG.

Depends on how many strings you intend to string together. But 16-18 AWG should do it. I used high quality speaker wire from Home Depot.

As someone else answered, 16G wire is smaller than 14G wire. The 16G wire is what this harness was designed for, the 14G is pushing it. Unless you have runs of wire that exceed 60-80', then you are wasting money on 14G wire. 16G is the preferred thickness for runs of speaker wire that are less than 60-80'.

14 gauge std. I didn't try a 12 gauge in the slot but I think it might be to big. you might be able to use the side screw terminals for the 12.

Not sure why you couldn't They have terminals on the back for stripped wire connection or banana plugs Only concern would be the speakers are rated at 130 watt

I used it with 14 gauge wire. I don't know if they would work with thicker wire or not but you could certainly use them with either 14 or 16 awg.

My estimate is 16-18 gauge. Not 14 or 12. It was the same gauge as the stock wiring in my Cherokee '95

14 gage wire is better than 16. What you worry about most is the distance each speaker wire covers. I think I read 75 feet is the recommended threshold.I used 14 throughout, the connections on the speakers is not easy with 14 but with care it can be done.

The speaker plugs are spring loaded, so use bare wire. 12 or 14 AWG works well.

16 awg is typically more than adequate. 14 gauge could be used for really long runs (over 100ft), or if you are pushing a lot of power to large front channels.

You only 16-18awg wire for these speakers. No bigger gauge is necessary. One thing I look for is Oxygen free copper wire, I've had great success with that. Here's a link. - Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings - (Part# SW-16X2-100-CL )

Just connect your left, center & right from your receiver with speaker wire. 14 gauge worked fine for me.

either will fit but your better advised with the 12 gauge for better sound quality. always use the heaviest gauge wire

I read on post that the speaker wire should match the Wattage of the Speakers, specifically 100 - 150 watts per speaker would require 14 gauge wire. The S7100 system states that it's output is 130 watts per channel...would that mean that it's 130 watts per speaker? If so, I think it suggests the use of 14 gauge wire, not 16AWG.

Thanks for your question. The speaker terminals will accept 14Ga cable. This is a fantastic sounding speaker system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Harman Kardon dealer.

The speaker wire is 1x8 and 2x14, but it is very thin, 18 or 20 gauge.. I purchased a roll of better wire 16 gauge is flexible and hides pretty well.
