Would these hold 12 gauge speaker wire?

Yes, no problem, assuming the wire in question doesn't have thicker than normal insulation. The clip may not hold the wire tightly as I think it's smaller than RG6 coaxial cable it is designed for. You might compare your speaker wire to coaxial cable to see if it will fit.

Yes they should, perhaps even have some wiggle room. If it's heavily insulated just grab any coaxial cable and compare. As long as the diameter is about the same it should work. Hope this helps.

I did not use them for car speakers but in my past experience, 16gauge wire should work fine for standard speakers but it would not be adequate for subs.

Did you ever get an answer or solution for this? I purchased 12 gauge speaker wire but have not installed it yet. I can return it if need be. Thanks!

They should work fine. The speaker is supported from the bottom and held in place by side clamps.

You can use 14 or 16 AWG speaker wire. I used 14 AWG plastic coated wire from Monoprice. Copper wire is best. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&fo;rmat=2&p;_id=2791&kpid;=2791&CAWELAID;=1329459423&CAGPSPN;=pla&catargetid;=320013720000063196&cadevice;=c&gclid;=CL7F3MGko8ICFdKEfgodOIkARA

I have used it on 12 gauge speaker wire, and although the coating on the wire was too gel-like to work well, it did get the job done. How well of a job it does depends on how much tension you are using (you turn a little nob with your fingers to adjust it) and what the coating of the wire is. I believe it could handle all the way up to 4 gauge wire.

12 gauge too large and too expensive. Unless your speakers will be placed > than 50 ft from setup then 16 gauge is the way to go.

I honestly don't know, but the wire they give you is a really small gauge and most audiophiles will tell you to get something bigger. I think I ended up buying 16 or 14 gauge.

12 gauge will fit. It has one of the compartments full of it. I'm not exactly sure how many pieces are in there but I installed 4 speakers, and the head unit, made a new ground, and then did the same for my friend's car and I still have some left

Yes, I think so. I have an electric 12-string hanging from a String Swing Metal hanger. It's neck is 1 3/4" wide near the nut, where the hangers hold it. There seems to room at the point for an even wider neck too. Hope that is helpful.Parry

The speakers can be used elsewhere. Two points to consider: 1) the speakers are relatively low impedance and 2) their clip-type wire connectors are better suited for smaller-gauge speaker wire.

Yes unless you have an older model with different size threads than your 12 gauge. Hope this helps!

12 gauge speaker wire should do the system justice (14 would probably be fine too, really)! I wouldn't go too crazy with brands or anything though. I hear they sell 12 gauge speaker wire of good quality at Lowes for just $0.27/foot. For the sub-woofer however, splurge for the monster cable connect for 30/40 bucks. You bought yourself a great system... you will not believe the unbelievable, precision sound. Best of luck my friend. -Eric

it will fit fine but I used 12 awg with Sewell banana plugs on my Marantz amp. the longer your run the larger gauge you need. this becomes important around 25-50ft.

No anything will work. Just depends on how hard your gonna push them. I would recommend getting a pack of the banana clips that are 20$. Saves alot of time and wear on your fingers. And if your gonna push them as hard as I do your gonna want 12 gauge wire. But no smaller than 16 over 200watts. .

It depends on how far your speakers are to your receiver I used 12 gauge. Here is a link that might help you: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/172172-speaker-wire-what-size/

I would certainly think so. These are very sturdy and work well with my large speakers. Have fun!
