In that case, I'd just recommend replacing the current cables with more contemporary RCA plugs (you can find some inexpensively on eBay if you don't mind waiting for the shipping from China) and decent wire (I wouldn't go crazy because the runs are likely to be fairly short - even 18 gaauge would be OK).
#Banana plug to rca drivers
Is this a console? Hard to tell from the pictures, but the picture of the bundle of wires behind the drivers makes me think it is.
#Banana plug to rca mod
If you can mod the unit to use the BJ/BP it would serve you as a reliable connection for many years and is a lot easier use. There are other methods and connectors but the BJ/BP method is what quality builders and manufacturers use. Short of a direct solid mechanical and electrical connection my choice would be for the Banana Jack/Binding Post. Some still use spring compression methods but those are not as solid not as secure a connection as the Banana/Binding post method. The point being audio power out of an RCA will work but there are many different style connectors in use with the top products being Banana/Binding post the most common. That being said I have seen RF in excess of 300 watts out-putted through an RCA jack on Heath Kit and other radios, with some purists still running those today almost 60 years after they were first built. The fact you stereo unit has RCA plugs for speakers make me wonder about it as many very low cost and consumer priced inexpensive units used RCA plugs, which were very low in power output and severely lacked good reproduction were sold in the thousands over the years. I think Part Express has a Chassis mount 5 way binding post that would work for your unit and then you could choose between wire, Banana jack possibly pin connectors if you so desired. Rat Shack used to carry these things but they aren't a solid connection so word got around and the stuff just hung on the wall till they sold it at a loss to rid the stores of it. You can simply slip the wire through the outside cover and twist to fit.
They sell banana jacks, even MFJ sells Banana Jacks and other plugs,chassis mount connectors.Įasy to solder with some (not recommended) are even compression fit. Mouser, Digikey, RF Parts and a host of others out there all sell various RCA jacks and many other varieties of plugs. Click to expand.I agree a pic or two of the unit showing the connections would help.
