Customer comments on this selection.
 time consumming to connect but well worth it
apox 1 hr to solder all connectors to wire make sure that u use 16g-14g only also purchase 1/4 shrink tubing to make a anti corrosion seal to ends,silver solder....only dis is the rubber ends should be interchangeable color coded (dont give u the right colors 7-1)
 I didn't even use them I didn't like them that much
Monster Cable THX-GP 20-Pack Standard THX-Certified Gold-Plated Speaker ConnectorsThe idea that is covered by this product is a good one but this product in my mind is not the way to do it. The Monster Cable label very conveniently doesn't explain how the connectors are attached to the speaker wire. I checked every conceivable place I could think of. I even wrote a nasty email to the Monster Cable support desk and it took two months to get a reply telling me that you are to crimp these small clips on to your speaker wire with a 16 gage crimping tool that not but a very few people would own. I mean if they would have let me know this from start I probably would have been alright with it but the way they deliberately covered up the problem really pissed me off.
 Great stuff!
The package arrived a lot quicker than I had thought it would, and it was great for the install, crimped easily and the color coding helped as I have a 7.1 set up. Warning, this will not work well with any gauge larger than 16 AWG wire. I wanted to have a completely THX certified system so I ended up going with these connectors.

Average product; save the money
These connectors are OK for a temporary job, but I would not recommended for long-term use if you have a serious HTS. This crimp design leaves a lot to be desired and make it feel as if the speaker wire will eventually pull out with an inadvertant tug of the wire.
Save the bucks and get some threaded banana plugs.
A Must-Have Item for Home Stereo Installation!
If you've ever set up a home stereo system with the hydra-like sprout of cables coming out the back of the entertainment center, you'll appreciate these sleeves keeping track of which wire leads to where.
