why are you using 8 gauge? seriously over sized for the use.
your not welding with them are you? you do realize its probably 18-24 gauge on the other side of the binding posts, both ends......
your not pumping 40amps into a speaker are you?
These are what I use and they work great FURUTECH FT-212(G) hi-performance Gold-Plated/Pure-copper Banana plugs-set of 4 | eBay |
Check any of the Furutech banana plugs they will take up to 5.5mm wire diameter, which is around 4 ga. so 8 ga. wire is an easy fir in the Furutech banana plugs either straight or 90 degree also the 90 degree plugs spread open when you tighten the screw so that they stay tight in your amp or speakers. they are somewhat expensive but your get what you pay for, they are top quality plugs.FP-202(R)/(G) | FURUTECH |
