I have an amp with single speaker terminals, I would like to add two more terminals as I have tri-wire speakers and a sub that connects via speaker level inputs.
Planning to make a copper plate that I can attach like a spade with two holes on the side to to connect two additional terminals. The existing terminal has enough clearance to prevent the new terminals from hitting the back cover.
My question are.
1. Is copper the best material for the plate?
2. Do i need to have the copper plated?
2. How thick would the plate need to be ?

Sure, that's plenty.
Make sure the + and - copper strips cannot rotate and touch each other.

I would attach an insulating plastic strip between the copper strips on both sides,
so they can't do that.

I think i got lucky, the terminals has a washer that locks into place, I can insert the copper plate into the washer and this would prevent it from rotating 🙂

I have something similar on another amp. I want to make the terminals looks "factory installed" on this amp.
Stacking dual banana plugs will not work, the wires are too thick and heavy to be stacked, The wires are AWG 11 x 6 per channel. Don't ask why 😀 I just have too much wire on my hands 🙂
