The 188 is the ideal TS connector, for terminating larger speaker cables. I recently terminated a pair of 12 gauge speaker cables; it was a "breeze", plenty of space. I've always liked Switchcraft quality. I have used old TS/TRS cables with Switchcraft connectors, that are atleast 15 years old and still in service.

I have been making all of my own P/A speaker cables for the last 45 years. I use 12/2 rubber covered electrical cord and The Switchcraft 188 is the perfect heavy-duty connector for this task! People that I have played with in various musical combos have liked my cables so much they wanted to know where I got them. Once they found out I started making some just for them!
