Whats the best way to get two wires into the one side of the adapter?  I’m having a hard time.

Using a spare section of wire, practice cleanly removing the insulation without fraying the wire. Don’t twist the wires, just slide them straight in. I wouldn’t expect any trouble with two #14 wires.

Maybe use a converter that fits both the output and the input.

What adapter? As far as I know, all Sonos adapters are either RCA or 3.5mm jacks.

Those are certainly banana clips, as I mentioned in my reply here.

I’m using these.   Very hard to get 2 wires in one hole.

So you’re connecting speaker wire to a Sonos Amp?

Yes. I’m wiring 4 Sonos speakers to an Amp.  Using this wire;

Maybe use a 2-way speaker selector with impedance protection/matching, or if that’s not preferred, then go for ‘stackable’ 4mm banana plugs instead. Try Amazon, or other reputable sites online.

These were suggested, but out of stock.  I’m looking for something similar.
