cmdridq Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I recently acquired a pair of RF 3-II speakers. I was surprised when I noticed they do not accept banana plugs, since I already had some great 10 AWG cables fitted with expensive banana plugs that I had been using with my previous speakers. (The thing I liked about the bananas was the simple plug/unplug capability, which made it a breeze to move the speakers around). Anyway, I don't want to deal with bare wire. So, besides spades, are there any other options for me? Do you guys have any secrets you're holding out on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckpls Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I've never seen the back of an RF-3II, but some Reference models have red and black plastic "plugs" in the center of the terminals. You have to remove the plastic plugs to insert banana plugs. If yours don't have them, why not just use spades or bare wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jephdood Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah. The RF-3s do accept bananas. Take the plastic inserts out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdridq Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah, I've got the red and black plastic plugs in the center of the connector. I didn't realize you could remove them. I don't want to wreck anything, do I just pry them out with a knife blade, or is there a better way to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdridq Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Up and running on the banana connection! Thanks alot guys. Funny they don't mention that in the owner's manual. I guess it's supposed to be obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
