These plugs fit 10 AWG wire, but what is the recommended gauge they will "comfortably" fit? 12 gauge?

I used 14 gauge, and it fits with plenty of room. Appears as if 12 gauge will work too. The trick is to have just enough wire coming out and over the edge to make a proper connection. Works like a charm.

I bought these banana plugs to use with 12AWG speaker wire and I can tell you that they were a perfect fit.

The maximum these plugs accept is 8AWG, but they suggest 10AWG. I used 12AWG because that was the wire already in the house. It worked great and I am sure smaller wire would work fine. The connection mechanism is capable of squeezing any wire larger than the "teeth" very securely.

Yes. I have them attached currently to 12 awg wire and they work great. Think that with the way they are designed, that they work fine with any gage speaker wire. Well designed product and easy to use.

I would recommend 4 gauge for the power wire just in case you decide to change your amplifier you will not have to go back and run over the wires. However this is not a very powerful amplifier and I strongly suggest putting the extra money and buying a better amplifier. What are the 12" subs are you going to use?

Those look like nice tighteners, but, since the description says they work with 8-11 gauge wire and this is 12-ga wire you are considering, I would anticipate that they wouldn't grip the wire properly and you would be disappointed.

It is advertised as 10 awg, but wire is actually 12 awg.Wire looks bigger because insulation is pretty thick.

12 or 14 gauge will be fine. But if the cord is over 20ft, I would use 12 gauge.

12 awg is 12 gauge . It is thicker than 14 gauge ( I know.. That seems backwards. ). The 14 awg could get hot and cause fire etc if you use 100 ft. Longer cord means more resistance means more hear. Just Search it up 12 gauge extension in amazon search. I'd recommend one that is for cold weather so it will stay flexible

If the gauge of your speaker wire is between 10 and 24 AWG, it will be fine

It was a close fit from what I recall on my inverter setup. I used the 0 AWG (.325) wire.

They will accommodate up to number 10 AWG stranded. Recommend tinning the strands before use.

Yes that gauge wire should be no problem. These were actually larger than I was expecting.

I am using the ones it came with. But as for 10 feet? Yes, with the correct gauge wire....as you indicated you would use.

Hi You can Google "awg wire chart", all the measurements for all wire will be there.

Should work perfectly fine with 2 gauge wire. They were a little tight with monster 0 gauge, which is a little oversized, but the allen bolts go all the way inside which should 2 gauge wire with no issues.

The 12 gauge wire is rated for 20 amps. Not sure about the plug. I have been using for tools up to 20 amps with no heat problems!

I used 10AWG (PTFE insulated), but essentially, that depends on what terminals you have available. The ones included are probably best with 12AWG or smaller

I used 12/2 gauge, but knowing the length of wire and total wattage if bulbs is key

According to NEC 12 Gauge (90 °C) has ampacity 30A, but that silicone insulation can stand more than 200°C,so may it will be OK. 10 Gauge(90 °C) has ampacity of 40A,so it will be more reliable(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge)
