xbulgoogyx Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 yeah, it should work. i recently upgraded with 16 gauge. all you need are 4 solderless 1/8" mono plugs which you can find at radio shack. it's pretty self explanatory from there. 12 gauge might be pretty thick so you might have the shave it down a bit. good luck.

VIV Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Heh, 12 guage will work with some shaving, but it is kinda overkill on the Pro's In comparison, in my setup, I'm using 16 guage, and it's more than good enough for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Jean Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 I'm using either 14 or 12 gauge Monster Cable and I had a hell of a time trying to get the wires into the 1/8" plugs that I bought. I'd say that if you can get the 12 gauge wire to work with the plugs, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted April 17, 2001 Author Share Posted April 17, 2001 ok... well i was just wondering now if there is some special mini plug that can connect to 12 gauge wire. i can solder so that is no problem. or will i just have to think it out? i really don't want to do that so that i get the full use of the wite. thanks ------------------ -justin http://www.fortunecity.com/campus/berry/88/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
