    Well, I made banana jack panels on pieces of 3/8 birch board when I first opened the 4341s up - but I didn't think in terms of dual connectors so didn't use any specific dimension for jack placement. But maybe I should get some of those dual pair input plates like you have - or remake the rear panels I already have. I'll need to do something similar on the L200s as well - but - the amps have standard connectors spacing at least!

    Yes - I bought 2 of the Walmart 40 footers - so I think 4 20" cables should cover my needs downstairs!

    And thanks for the PE tip - I just ordered 5 of the dual terminal cups - 2 for the 4341s, and 3 for the L200s (including the eventual center one I'll set up)

    Trading kudos, I followed your lead and had some glass tops made for the 4345s today. Bronze tint seemed to be the right choice. The glass shop assured me the plastic-disc "pads" would not harm the wood. One less thing to worry about with these beasts that simply have to be used as furniture in my tiny room!

    I managed to get by with my bi-amp wiring with one Wood's patio extension cord. How far apart are your 4341s??

    With the custom CC crossovers now safely inside the 4345 cabinet, I'm using this input plate on the backs and run the dual-bananas on both ends of the Moonshine cables.

    I considered using just PE aluminum jack plates and selecting individual "5-way" binding posts but could never find out if the hole spacing was correct for dual-bananas since all they list for hole spacing is "30mm" which I assumed was 10mm too many! Plus the dual input cups with the binding posts already on them are cheaper than the aluminum plates even if you get the "gold-plated" versions.

    I just ordered some stuff from PE for my B460 rebuild (pics and thread will be forthcoming) and they were out of stock on the 2-hole black plates. Sheesh.
