Using terminal blocks as Speaker connectors?

Beggar · 26th July 2003, 02:13 PM

Hi being on a strictish budget, and needing 8 speaker connections (4 bi-amped speakers) i was thinking of ideas for cheap connectors and thought about mains rated terminal blocks (see picture) I was thinking of soldering one side, and i would hope they have a better quality than those spring loaded cheap terminals, has anyone used these before, or would like to comment on the theoretical quality anyway?

Thanks Beggar.

Same here, I use them for PSU to amp and for amp out to speakers. No obvious problems.
