Lawrence,

Thanks, but I actually avoid terminal connections, whenever possible, in my crossover execution. KISS rules.

Hard-wired, wires wrapped around and soldered, Wonder Solder Classic.

Partially-built photos ( 3 above ) show this.

On amplifier, I am converting this Easter weekend to Cardas Silver Rhodium short speaker posts / terminals, ( so I can swap for out-of-absolute phase recordings ). All else is soldered.

I also eliminated the terminal connections, on the stock ALTEC 515B and 802D drivers, and soldered the speaker wires directly to the tabs holding the voice coil wires, and tie-wrapped the speaker wire to the driver frame ( to eliminate damage from inadvertent tugs ).

That is better sounding to my ears !! Wonder Solder in all cases.
