50's Speaker Connections....

Hi & hope all is well. Kindly check my pics and tell me how to easily run +/-- cables from these ancient speaker connectors. The amp picture shows an amp that I assume I can use either tap? I did see a picture from someone who dangled wires, but I lost it & can't find it, but still it didn't differentiate + from -- I'd rather run & dangle wires than start drilling & installing 1/4" jack's.
Thanks all
Kenny

Put some spade lugs on your wires. Label one wire positive and the other negative. Connect the negative wire to the "0" screw terminal. Connect the positive wire to the appropriate impedance lug, ie, 4, 8, 0r 16Ω.

Edit: Been thinking about this question all day. Why bother? Spade lugs was really the better answer.

yes, SLUCKEY, I know that,,, I'm referring to amps that have only that 6 pin output,,,?
Is there no set formula, and I'd just need to peek inside the chassis & run some cables? Thanks again!!
