Crossover problem new screws anyone help?

[Pub247]

So basically i got some kicker coaxials off a mate he paid $800 like 4 or 5 years ago. but after being in the doors and tailgate that long rust has formed on the terminals. Speakers Still work great but the screws are ####ed and they're even worse by the time i got them out. I've still got 3 to get out these are the worst.

Anyone know if im able to buy new screws and little clamps for them?

Just solder your speaker wires on.

+1, that's the go. As long as the internals are ok, that will be fine.

Or get the screws out, clean it up and solder.. Much better idea.

I would if i could i tried for a fair while and cant get these last 3 out i will be soldering the rest

Fair enough mate, well I would advise that you sand the hell out of it so that you have a clean contact for the solder, so that the electrical current flow isn't affected too badly. Also just spray a bit of clear coat over it once soldered to prevent more oxidisation.

or open the box up and solder directly to the PCB

Would work, but he would have to modify the cover to allow for the wires.

You might be able to squeeze the wires through the 'honeycomb' style top.

drill the screws out the rust will eventually mess with ur connections (its like cancer and will spread 2 ur PCB and then components), make sure the contacts under neith havent started rusting or u'll find u may start gettin bad connections later on. u'll need 2 clean them up. U could also go 2 an audio store they should have spare tabs and screws laying around, most r the same size so should fit.
