    Those look real purty Steve. Did you notice an improvement?

    What I did:
    First off, I'm a bare wire kinda guy so this was easy. I measured between the terminals, added an extra 1/2 inch and cut the insulation. I then slid the insulation up about 1/2 inch and then stripped the ends as normal. I wrapped the 1/2 inch gap around the bottom post and connected the top as normal. Basically I removed the jumper and connected the wire to both terminals. It made for a very good improvement over the stock jumpers. I'd post a pic, but I'm not currently using this wire or speakers.
    Make it Funky! :)

    Gidrah...err ski..

    Back when I had bi-wirable speakers, they were better than the brass jumping bar provided, definitely. I don't have to sweat that anymore....

    steveinaz, thanks, I think they turned out well.

    goingganzo, I use spades to connect the amp to the bottom set of terminals. You can't use 2 sets of bananers on one set of nuts. If you look close at my first pic, you can see they are Monster Cable's Quik Lok spades, on the bottom nuts.
