Will 14 gauge wire fit into these clips? Rca AH14100SR 14-Gauge Speaker Wire (100 feet)

Yes, they will accommodate 12 gauge depending on the thickness of the housing (or coating the wire is in)., 12 gauge does not determine the total size of the wire but based on the dimensions of the wire and clip they will work

BIG maybe. The opening is maybe a 1/4" wide x 3/16" deep. Definitely not big enough to fit my two 12 ga side-by-side speaker wires.

Only very small diameter speaker wire will fit inside these poles. Standard, lay flat, home theater speaker wire will Not fit inside the pole. I had to run mine outside of the pole wich doesn't look as nice.

It will but I doubt you need 14 awg unless you are running the wire great distances, like over 100 feet.

I apologize for the late response but i have been very busy. i bought 14" gauge wire for my system. i really don't believe the brand matters. i would also recommend banana clips but they are also not necessary. when i get the chance i will try to include a link to the ones i bought.let me know if this helpsDex

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.

Wires were there, about 5 feet or so. You can buy 100 feet of sufficient speaker wire for $10.00

Nope. I bought,Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings. Speakers sound wonderful, one I mounted then up on the walls.

Yes, I use 14 gauge and haven't had a problem but then again once I hooked them up I wasn't really moving them about. They've been in use since June 2013 and have performed well. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

The way mine are soldered I can't get to the bare wire to get an accurate measurement but the cable has 2x1.5mm^2 printed on it. I think that puts them at about AWG 14 or 15. That's also what I'd estimate by looking at them. However, since they don't list the gauge in the description it's possible that you'd get different wire on yours.

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. .

I used 14g because I did not run them more than 20 ft from the source. I looked up the recommended wire size in a chart I found by searching the internet for speaker wire recommendations.

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

Yes, any size wire will work. Even the best speakers in the world with heavy gauge wire will have some very minor distortion, regardless of the thickness of the cable. I used some small gauge wire and the sound quality is remarkable. It would not make a difference if I were using a thicker conductor. Just make sure the polarity is the same going into the speaker as the receiver/karaoke.

the screw clamps are not very large, so the smaller the gauge the easier it will be.... but yes, I think you will be able to clamp them down sufficiently I think I ran 12g to the attenuator and then 16 or 18 to the speakers ( which was the wire the outdoor speakers came with

speaker wire just clips to back of amp and back of speakers, so as far as your speaker wire will reach
