Review on GearIT Right Angle Banana Plugs For Speaker Wire (6 Pairs, 12 Pieces), 90 Degree Pin Plug Type, (Non Conductive Coating) Spring Clips Speaker Banana Jack Terminals (Support 12 AWG To 20 AWG Wires) by Ken Kowal

Revainrating 3 out of 5

First rate quality but found an issue

These are excellent speaker terminals with a caveat. The images don't really show the pins well. They are not cross cut posts, they are flexible braided copper wire that is gold plated so they conform to the spring terminals for good contact and current capacity. They look really nice also. There is one issue though that will limit installs. The outside barrels are conductive, so you will short circuit your amp if they ever touch. This rules them out for car stereo installs where lots of movement happens. Bummer because that's what I bought them for. I now have to use them w/o the barrels and insulate with heat shrink tubing. They will still work well, but won't look nice.

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of speaker wire sizes
Cons
  • The plugs may be unstable when connected
