banana plug speaker cable to screw amp terminal

[mpw]

I have an old but good CJ MV-45 amp. I also have some Nordest speaker wire that has banana plugs.
The question is: what is the way that I can convert the banana plugs to bare wire to connect to the amp without
taking off the banana plugs as these Nordest have many fine wires connected to the plug. of course this old CJ has screw
type connectors to the amp.

I would probably just get a banana to spade adapter. I probably would not risk ruining the speaker cable by trying to remove or cut the banana plug off.

Yes, I agree. I am not sure of the size of the MV-45 screw to get the correct spade ??

Something like this limits your financial exposure to $9.95. If you find the spades are a bit too wide then a little gentle pressure with needle nose pliers to crimp the ends closer together may work. There are a bunch of these type adapters on the market some with thicker spade ends and others thinner so perhaps easier to bend if need be.

Hola mp3,

I agreed with Joe and Admin. The converter is a great solution. Joe is showing the right one. There are too big and thick spades connectors and these ones won't fit into the speaker's screw.

While setting the converters into the screws, watch for have them secured in a way of putting them without touching one to another.

Happy listening!
