Cheesey looking

[Dave K]

I absolutely hate the cheesey looking $2 red and black plastic speaker wire posts on tower speakers.

Just wondering what would be a good alternative

Thanks

The enclosures you got, come with 2 holes for the included "cheesy looking red and black" binding post to pass through.

You could go with a pair of individual nickle-plated posts and these should fit the existing holes.

Or, you could go with the Neutrik Speakon setup, but it will require you to drill about a 7/8" hole in the can. Trick will be if the large hole will encompass the 2 existing holes.

Now, another option would be to use a stainless steel marine water-tight deck pass-thru. 2 con's for this route. 1) it's not a connector, so removing the enclosure would require pulling the driver, disconnecting the wires and pulling them back out through the pass-thru. 2) these are really meant for a flat surface, so the radius of a speaker may make mounting it tricky.

I was planning on the other pods but changed my mind and went with the DIY Wake pods. Reason being is once I have installed the speakers on the tower I can aim exactly where I need them to be aimed, rather than selecting hole that may only make the speakers point close to where they should be.

MIKE...THATS EXACTLY what I has thinking of. A terminal that looks good.

Heres another idea.

How about using RCA jacks and nice gold plated plugs. You could solder them on to the speakers wire.

I was thinking it would look really nice with a 6500.2 and 6500 set up

What do you think???

Heres a binding post that looks much better.
Not expensive $5 or$6 on ebay

Those look great, it will be interesting to see how they weather.
