Speaker cab wiring

Post by Sonny ReVerb »

I'm just finishing up my first speaker cab. I'm at the point of wiring up the jacks (one extra for daisy chaining) and I'm curious how you guys handle it. The jacks are in the back panel and I'm not sure I want to just solder everything together. I'd like to use those fast-ons on the speaker, but the speaker connections aren't made for them - they're just thin metal solder connections. The jacks would accept them, however. The only ones I have are the crimp-on type. I imagine it would be better to use soldered ones. Suggestions appreciated!

Gee, that 'search' thing really works sometimes. I found this:

Sounds like pigtails might be the ticket.
