Do these plugs sag at all? I'm new to Banana style plugs. It looks like if they touch at all they will short out the amp.

Not a fan of these styles. The monster series bannana plugs are better. It's becasue of the screw type. These have tiny screws on the sides that don't pinch hard enough or strip the threads. The monster series makes a better connection. You spread out the wires and then the bottom and top part screw together making a much better seal.To answer your questions though, no there is no short with either of these. The wires are all sealed inside the metalic tubes when you screw them together.

I've never had this type of problem with this speaker cable. The only way you should experience this problem is if the wires touch each other or if they are on incorrect terminals. Check the resistance [there shouldn't be any]

I usually never had that problem unless I pushed them too hard, I bought two of these amps, each one pushed a mofo 12" sub. When I got one of them it seemed like something was rattling inside of it, like a peice of metal. Opened it up and sure enough it was. Check the amp, check all your connections, and play with the settings according to your music type. It also varies what your sub or subs your pushing. My best answer is in your connections. See if that helps. Like where your ground is located and how good your ground connection is. But factory defaults do happen, especially if they are cheaply made and mass produced.

I only used these for my Yamaha receiver. I am not sure if banana plugs will fit?

All of the ports on the bottom are a little off. The little tabs in the bottom never stay in. By unplugs, do you mean the sound gets disconnected? If so, that doesn't seem like a case problem, but either a phone or headphone problem. If I am understanding this wrong please clarify.I have headphones that have a large plug, or near the end of the plug... they stay in just fine.

I have them on a low watt boss amp and they are just ok? Not really made for heavy wattage... just my opinion. Good looking and sufficient for the homemade IHOME i built. No thump just mids and hi's. Good looking and easy install though. Oh and cheap for alpine lol.

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.

Yes, they will. Be as careful as possible when removing/inserting. While rearranging/cleaning up my cabling, I had to remove the positive lead from my amp. I accidentally nicked the ground gauge reducer, and let me tell you...it wasn't pretty. Thankfully, I didn't blow anything. A very noticeable surge mark is left as a reminder.

Did you end up pairing these with a Connect amp? What has your experience been? Sorry for a question to a question.

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

I run them off my head unit, use the included crossover so do not use your amp or head unit cut off, I run this with infinity natchingg 6x9 in back and old 10"jl sub, if I turn off the sub it sounds great! And again this running off a Kenwood head unit just mid range not even high end unit.

They are pins and not banana plugs. I google the image of the back of one of your speakers and they look like they take whats called a banana plug. Often times, the plugs that banana plugs plug into can be unscrewed revealing a hole where you can snake in a speaker wire then tighten the screw on the terminal for it to hold in place. I cannot tell if this is the case with your speaker terminals. Nonetheless, your question is with regards to these terminators. If your terminals are in fact banana plug terminals, then use banana plugs instead. If not, I WOULD NOT use these as terminators for your speaker wire. As you can see, there is no insulation around these and if they touch, it will short out the speaker and can cause damage to your receiver or amplifier. Note also that the pins on these appear as though they can be bent. That is not the case in my experience. Not sure what material its made from but it is certainly not malleable. Once you bend it, it will snap off. So all in all, DO NOT USE THESE.

I have this speaker-amp combination. If the banana plugs fit, your speaker wire choice looks great.

If it keeps going Into protection.. there os an issue with the wiring.. make sure no positives and negatives are crossed.. and also that the speakers are wired up correctly for the ohm load to the amp...

Yes, it accepts banana plugs, and they work better than regular speaker wire. Although fastened properly, the speaker wire sometimes comes loose somehow and drops the connection between the speaker and amp. Banana plugs on the other hand, give me a solid connection

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.

I use standard 1/4 inch banana plugs. I picked up several packs from Amazon and they work on all my audio equipment. If necessary, contact the people at Emotiva. I have spoken with them on several occasions and have found them to be most helpful and friendly. Enjoy your unit.
