[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7800761, member: 541144"] Ohms is ohms. If the terminals add resistance they can reduce current and therefore lower power. But we're talking less than a tenth of an ohm even for cheap terminals. Ain't gonna be measureable. A much bigger issue is as stated above - the heat generated by a poor connection can melt the plastic. Copper bolts through the box work as well as anything, and they seal the holes. Available from big home stores. Personally I like the gold plated binding posts that Parts Express sells but they're expensive. .. and please lose the bold and colors. Difficult for old eyes to read.
