Duct tap and glue sticks...

But seriously, try soldering some type of terminal to there. JB Weld maybe?

My box isn't bolted down in my Jeep, but it's got 3M Super 77 glue on the outside of the box from me ripping the vinyl off. Now it sticks to the carpet pretty well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I have a feeling Diamond Audio probably has a few of those terminals laying around, but I expect they would rather repair the sub themselves. I don't think it's because they are trying to rip you off but because they do take on some liability if something goes bad with your repair. Lawyers are everywhere. If you can, send them the sub and have them check it out.

That said, push terminals are pretty much the same. If you want to do some soldering, Apex Jr. has some push terminals from JBL which are likely very similar to the Diamonds.

Good luck!
