.187 quick disconnects for 12g wire?

Where do you get .187 QD for 12g wire?  I've searched my local electronic supply wearhouse, but they only had .250  and bigger for female quick disconnects for 12g wire.

Thanks

BTW, I need this for my JBL subs.  They have a .187 QD, as does the adapter that is mounted in the box.  Heck, the Infinity Speakers I just installed had .187 QD too.

I realize that this is also in General, but after thinking about it, I realize it should be here in Audio.

So, since there's no answers, am I to assume that everyone is using .250 female quick disconnect on the speakers?  Even when using 12g speaker wire?

Hardwarz

Yeah, I've found .871 (3/16")  in 14-16g, but never in 10-12g.

So, am I to assume that there's no reason ever to buy 12g speaker cable and 16g will always be enough?

Oh, btw, I did modify the .871 and crimped it on the 12g wire.  It was good enough for me.

I'm not quite sure I agree with this totally. I have had 16 AWG start to melt the insulation on a high wattage install before. I switched it out to 12 AWG and it played for years like that (until I took the system out of the vehicle).

That scenario aside, if I did agree with you, I would have already written a letter to the Pioneer, Alma Gates, Memphis ,etc SPL teams and let them know that they wasted all that money using 8 AWG in their SPL rigs. They could have been using 16 AWG this whole time!
