Elan z660 broken speaker out

[Adiaz89]

Well now that I have actually figured out how to wire this amp correctly(polk monitor 5s run in 120w bridge mode using channels 1 and 5) I want to connect my two acoustic monitors Into these center channels(3 and 4) in non bridge mode(60w) Does anybody have any advice on what I should do about that lower left broken nub of a speaker attachment? Should I just solder on a wire and twist it to the speaker cable? I know that's ghetto, but The Thing is completely broken off practically and I don't think I have replacement options for it

Hi. This looks like babana type connector female, they are available to purchase, as single piece. You can try to remove broken one and install new one, then solder wire and route it where it should be connected inside of amplifier. Maybe even local elecronics pqrts shop will have this. At worst case you can you can solder wire to broken one and solder new one , but wire may not last long.

Yes, something similar. I'm unsure if gold plated ones does any benefit . But at first, check construction of existing broken one, analizė is it possible to remove it alone.

With the amount of available binding posts you will be able to get one that blends right in. Even eBay will have a few good choices if you are careful.
