Hello all!

Is it preferred to terminate the outdoor speaker wire with banana plugs and plugged into the speaker terminals versus clamping down the bare speaker wire? Inside I simply terminate with bare ends clamped into my speaker terminals but I'm not sure this would stand up the elements outdoors.

Additionally, when mounting the Algonquin speakers horizontally, should I orientate the speakers so that the tweeter is on the inside, closest to the center of the listening field - or does it matter?

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
