Hey Guys,

The title pretty much says it all. I have a pair of rt25is with one of the binding posts broken off. There is still a bit of metal sticking out, so thus far I have just pinned the wire up to it and it works, but I would like to replace the posts altogether. I looked at parts express and they have replacements, but it looks like I would have to cut the old ones out. Is this what I should do? Anyone done this before? Thanks for the help.

    They bolt in from the inside. You should not need to cut anything, except for the hotglue. Yo might have to enlarge the holes, but I would wait until you get your new ones.

    Okay thanks. I haven't actually gotten around to this yet, I just have the wire pressed up against the post. Any suggestions which posts to use? I was looking on parts express, not looking to spend too much on the project.
