*Warning* dumb speaker question

[OdieTRP 10+ year member]

I have an old receiver that has speaker wire connections where you push down the tab and insert the wire. I have 12 ga speaker wire and it won't fit. Is there a better way to connect the wire to the receiver?

Go with smaller speaker wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

OR you could attach your 12 gauge wire to some smaller gauge wire using whatever u can find and then put it intot he old reciever

Sure, if you wanted to.

12awg wire is pretty **** substantial for a home theater system, though...unless you're running an assload of power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
