Hi everyone:
The terminals finally broke on my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 (original version with power swtich). I need a drop-in replacement. As I understand it, anything bigger would requiring cutting the metal on the backside of the Bash amp to fit. Does anyone know a source for a drop-in replacement?
So far, all I could find was this seller on eBay
NEW Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Speaker Satellite Terminal Block module Plug; OLD Type – Speakers Geeks
However, by the time I convert to $CAD and add shipping and other fees, it will come out to $CAD 50.00. I'm not willing to pay that for $5.00 terminals.
Thanks in advance.

Uhh..that's literally the same terminals from the same seller I just mentioned, but via a different link.
Okay, it looks like the dimensions are at least very close to the Uxcell wp4-7 terminals.
Google isn't finding me anything in North America so far. Does anyone know where I can get those in North America? I don't feel like waiting weeks for shipping from Asia right now, and it could be longer what with the pandemic. They're listed on Amazon, but shipped from China.

That's what I know from the amazon listingAs I said, the Amazon listed ones are shipping from China.

So, I ended up ordering one of the sets of terminals from an eBay seller. That was over 8 weeks ago and they didn't show up. This is one of the reasons I wish Chinese sellers would use faster tiers of shipping service-packages with the slower tiers often disappear, never to be seen again.
And 67.00 for a speaker terminal on eBay...sorry, but that's insane.
I'll keep looking for terminals. Heck, I'll modify the metal amp. plate before I pay 67.00 for a cheap set of terminals.

I thought of that too. But I think I'm just going to try to cover up the rear of the replacement terminals I bought and install those. Those already fit the opening in the enclosure and the amp. Is there a recommended way to plug up the rear of speaker terminals so that air doesn't leak through while the sub is pumping away?
An update for anyone still interested. I ended up just hacking a solution using another model of speaker terminals. I wrote this guide on iFixit.com for anyone else wanting some details. It's weak, and still in progress, but good for newbies.
