What to use for crossover ground?

[chinook9]

I have tested my crossover and I'm very happy with the performance. I have layed out the components on the crossover board but I have yet to determine how I'm going to neatly connect the wires to ground.

I would like to run a grounding block of some type down the center of the board and solder the 6 ground wires to it.

I haven't found any type of terminal strip I'm happy with for this purpose.

Any ideas?

Solid copper rod?

Or if you're cheap like me, 12 AWG solid copper wire.

Bingo!

Thank you guys. I will see if I can find a copper rod locally. I know I can get 12 AWG solid copper wire so that's a good backup..

I use these cheap as chips solder lugs. Down the back where the tags go through the backing, I solder a length of the same wire I use for internal wiring. Alternatively you can use the components themselves to make the bridge; they usually come with extra long lead out wires.


Usually solder down all 5 for the earth, but you can solder combinations, such as 2 and a 3 for other connections.


I then screw these to a wooden plate which I can glue the components to.
