William James Easton Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I' feeling a bit off cock today so decided to take apart my Laney RB7 and turn it into a monitor style extension cab for my ampeg set up, nice. I've done the math and thing ohm and wattage is all good (if it's not this may be my last post!) As i am a techno-tard i'm trying to work out how to get is from the speakers to the amp. so... what are these bits called? (got 4, red and black to one speaker and brown and blue t'other) also can i purchase a jack to these bits lead thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tl Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Crimp terminals, usually. You can get them from Maplin: [url="http://maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=42725"]http://maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=42725[/url] I'm sure someone would make you up a lead if you don't want to do it yourself.

BOD2 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 They're also called "spade connectors". The "crimp" part comes in because crimping is the method for attaching a wire to the connector. You want to be a little careful here. If those spade connectors touch each other when the amp is switched on it will short out the amp power section. Not good !

MoonBassAlpha Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 You can get an insulated version of them if that's a worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Make sure you use proper speaker cable too. Bell wire will end up in misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
