I finished my DIY Bassman last month and ordered the speakers and cabinet over the holidays. I've got the speakers now and the cabinet comes next week, so I wanted to start wiring the 4 sets of wires.
What's the accepted method of connecting wires to the speakers: solder or crimp connectors? For long-term durability, I vote for soldering the leads. On the flip side, how do the slide-on connectors fare in the long term?
Also, are there suggestions about the RCA phono plugs used to connect to the chassis? For testing, I have Radio Shack solderable plugs with strain reliefs. They look a little cheesy, so if I sell the amp, they'll have to go.
I'm almost there. It's been a fun 4 months. Now, if I could only play something.
