wuzzzer Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I re-used the stock wire when I changed my crossover networks and I'm thinking of installing different wire. I'd also like to buy new connectors that clip onto the positive and negative connections of the drivers but I don't know if I've ever known what they're called. Also, if different sizes are used do you know what size is OEM with a Forte II? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 I guess I found them but still not sure if they're the correct size. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=095-286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 They are called Fastons, and the correct size is 0.205" x 0.020" http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?N=254226+4294021133&Keyword=.205+fastons&FS=True Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You can also get them at the Home Depot. I usually squeeze them a little tigher with pliers before installign if they are loose. Try this too: Put a piece of coat hanger in the fitting and hold a lighter under it until the plastic swells. Then pull the plastic piece off (careful, it will be hot). When you install, use heat shrink over the crimp, you will get a really professional looking result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Hmmm...........I'd rather buy the right size first. There are two thicknesses, and most places don't have the correct one (0.020").
