Question on how to connect a wire to a wierd terminal.

[zx12 10+ year member]

I ordered a prefab box from supercrew sound and ive seen the front of these connectors on home stereos but on the back there is a little rectangle with a rectangular hole in the middle. The front is the type where you strip the end of the wire, press the plastic back, stick the wire in the hole and then let go of plastic to clamp the wire in. How do i connect the wire to the back part though?

crimp on a quick connect to the wire and you're golden. Either that or solder it.

I'm guessing you need something like these crimp-on connectors:

Radio Shack, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. have them. They come in 3/16" and 1/4" sizes, make sure you get the right size.
