Hello everyone,
My rear centre channel speaker is built with spring clip speaker terminals. I'm using 12 gauge wire and it is difficult to insert it in there effectively. I'm worried that the connection seems loose and not solid.
I would like to change the spring clip to a banana plug set-up. I took the terminal cap off to investigate. Keep in mind that i'm a rookie at this and was surprised to see the crossover glued directly to the terminal. I was expecting the crossover to be screwed to the speaker enclosure and then connected by wires to the terminal. Oh well, worse case scenario is that i learned something.
How do i unplug the crossover from the terminal ?
Can i try to cut through the glue qith and exacto knife and then just pull on it gently ?
Or do i have to get another crossover and start over completely ?
Are all terminals and crossovers built to some type of one size fits all standard ?
I'd like to keep the original crossover, not to avoid the cost of a new one, but for matching purposes.
Anyone have advice on how to do this ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Bob
