If you or your friend have access to a soldering iron, instead of using the connector, you could solder the wire to the speaker terminal, but this would make future speaker replacement slightly less convenient.Īnother thing to try, it prying the connector that is too small apart carefully with perhaps a dull knife blade and some pliers. You can order them online from an electrical supply company if you can determine what size - and if there is not an electronics or auto parts store near you. The picture below will show you the type terminals that you want. If you don't want to cut the speaker wire to change the connector, you could buy a male blade terminal that fits the existing connector and a female connector that fits the new speaker and clamp them on either end of a short jumper wire of the appropriate gauge. A photo of the speaker wire will aid in determining what gauge wire you need to make an extension if needed. They make splices that you simply insert the two wires you wish to join into and clamp them with pliers. If there is not enough slack left after cutting the wire, you can use a splice sold at the same electronics store, to add a new piece of wire as an extension. You will then need to cut the original connector off by cutting the wire as close to the connector as possible. If there is an electronics shop or auto parts store near where you live, you can take the speaker in and they can help you find the correct connector. Second, you won't need a new speaker wire (or cable). You should note that the new speaker has the positive and negative terminals on opposite sides than the original speaker (they are flip flopped). So you should have no trouble connecting it properly. First, the new speaker does label the positive and negative terminal with a + for positive and - for negative. But as you have discovered, the replacement speaker has two terminals that are the same size. The original design (with two different size terminals) made it impossible to accidentally connect the positive wire to the negative terminal and vice versa. The existing connectors have a female terminal that conveniently slides over the male terminals of the original speaker. The objective is to supply the electrical current to the terminals.
The speaker wire that runs from your amp to the speaker is a two conductor wire meaning that it has a side for the positive and negative terminal on the Speaker. If I need to buy a new cable that goes from the back of the amp to the new speaker, what exactly is that type of cable called? I've searched in Google but can't find anything that looks like the appropriate type. I just wanted to ask what would be the best solution for connecting the new speaker to my amp. I have never changed a speaker before so I have no idea about what the standard sizes are. so one of them is too wide for the connectors on the amp cable. However, the connectors on the new speaker look like this: The connectors on the cable that goes from the back of my amp to the speaker, and the connectors on the original speaker look like this: It arrived yesterday, but I have a problem with installing it. I sent off for a Jensen C8R speaker, which I read was a good replacement.

The current speaker (a Turbosound) is apparently not too bad compared to the one used on the previous model of the V5, but I've found it buzzes at high volume and decided to install a better one. I want to change the speaker on my Bugera v5 Infinium amp.
