Solder on terminals bad?

[HarleyF150 10+ year member]

Yes, i am considering buying a pair of used 6.5 focal utopias, but their is solder on the terminals of the woofers. Is this bad? I would probably end up getting them soldered anyways but if it all ready has solder on it will it make a difference? Sorry for the question if its stupid but i just want to make sure.

thanks

if the speaker looks fine and the only thing you can see is the solder on termials, i say pick em up

ask the guy if you can hook em up first before you buy

left over solder in the terminals wont affect the speaker at all....but if ur going to be soldering wires onto there- i would just suggest making the soldering quick.
