On the smaller speakers, I usually leave the wires hanging. The coil and cap will rest on the insulation on the bottom, so they won't buzz. On the towers, I wire tie them to the braces.
Or, in the 1960's style, solder the caps and coils to the terminals (on the inside of the box ) I repaired some KLHs for a friend not long ago and, although it was done for reasons of economy, it held the components darned well.
I just drilled the terminal cup holes for some 35" tall speakers today and decided 12" above the floor was perfect. High enough to be reachable by an old fat-man bending and low enough not to influence the speaker to lean from wire tension/weight.
