I have seen a couple of methods both soldered and unsoldered for hookup of the speaker or speakers inside the enclosure to the termination cup or individual binding posts. What do the readers here do to make this connection?
What I've found so far is that a quick disconnect system is preferred so that the hobbyist can change things around. Other reason for pressure connect rather then solder is to make a cold solder joint which is considered better for conductivity.
But how to bring all these things together? I am using the Radio Shack 1197 in a pipe project. The connecting lugs on that are teeny tiny. So what sort of pressure connector system works on these?
I have included one method that does show some soldering but also can be quickly connected/disconnected.
(not real good at cutting and pasting into this message board though...)

Personally, I like soldered connections. Good ol' 60-40 rosin core solder. There are some crimp connectors that are quite good, with attention paid to gas-tight connections that won't corrode. But simple pressure-crush crimp connectors are far more common, and they simply don't offer as good of a connection. What I like to do, is to solder everything on circuit boards, and any connections that will be permanent or semi-permanent. I like having wires that are spliced onto other wires covered with heat-shrink tubing instead of being wrapped with tape. And termimal strips or connectors are soldered as well. If I'm using a spade lug or other crimp connector, I like to solder those too. Stranded wires that will be inserted bare into spring-loaded connectors are tinned with solder. For serviceability, I'll employ spade lugs, jacks, plugs and other types of connectors, but I like having them connected to their wiring harnesses with soldered connections. That way I am able to have cable assemblies that are removable and keep the equipment they're used in serviceable, but I still get a good connection that is mechanically and electrically sound.

Note to Webmaster (or whoever): I thought I posted a response earlier this morning, but it doesn't seem to have "stuck", so I'll do it again. A link to what I think I use is attached below. I use a hacksaw to separate. I have no idea why they're "European-Style". Probably the same reason some drivers are called "Euro Style" -- none! Unfortunately, I'm not in Vienna!
