Outdoor speaker wire terminations - 09/24/07 10:08 PM
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!
