Hey guys, first time posting here!
I have done some searching on this and have a question or two:
I just got a new receiver and TV. The receiver has a left and right output per channel (it does 7.1 max). I currently have a 5.1 setup. Center channel, 2 front speakers (Definitive Tech BP2000), 2 rear tower speakers, and a sub.
I have everything wired but the front BP2000 speakers. Here is a picture of the rear wiring inputs:
How do I wire these? I have them in the low portion right now and it works. I was reading on some other threads about having to all the grounds on H/M/L connected together, and the powers of the H/M/L connected together as well, then run my inputs into those. Question being, how would I go about doing that? They're banana plugs, so would I have to put a plug into each input with a wire out the back, then twist them together and put an end on that? The monster wire I am running BARELY fits into one banana plug, so I doubt I could get 3 wires worth into a plug, even if I strip it down to the copper innards. I thought about 2 into 1 adapter, so I could hook up the High and Medium, then use the 1 wire to connect another 2 into 1 adapter into the H/M wire and the Low wire, then connect my input into that, but that would look extremely... cheesy? Also worried about the sound being degraded. I just got a huge roll of monster cable and monster ends for EVERYTHING... so with the wire and connectors and TV/receiver being used, I only want to do this once and do it RIGHT.
Thanks for any help guys!
EDIT: Don't mind the dust, that will be cleaned up!

Now if you pull the connector off of the low input and run the connector on the High and Mid you will have to run either speaker wire to the Low or use the RCA Full Range or LFE to power the woofer.
