Missing Voice Coil Terminals????

[Rookie_80 10+ year member]

Wel i got this JL audio W3 from a friend and basically just noticed that it's missing the part - voice coil terminals(don't know how it's called) where you connect the speaker wires. See PICTURES attached.

So the question is : is that a big problem or all i do just tie the speaker wires around the hole?

Those are normal terminals.

You get some adapters that push onto those terminals.

yes there are males.

just like a regular electrical outlet. a wall outlet is the female portion of the outlet. while the plug for the toaster is the male portion of the wire. think of it as penises and *******.
