RE: Best Passive/Active Combination of Crossovers for IIIa's and T 1-D's

First, don't get those.

The spacer is intended to address exactly this problem of a rather thin cable going into a connector designed for a coax. The solution is to use a spacer that will combine with the cable to create a shape like a coax so allow the set screw ( which does the strain relief ) on the connectors to get a good grip on the cable.

My favorite solution is 1/2 inch segments of the hard jacket peeled off of cheap RG something coaxial cable. Or alternately an appropriately sized cylinder shaped hard rubber (Poly propylene or polyethylene or like) to plug in the free space.

If you want to make it look nice then use heat shrink over the spacer and wire portion and back down to the cable before it enters the connector.. I don't do that since I like to keep the options on the designated use of the wire open.
