Terminal stripped, any ideas?

[psych0ticnemes1 5,000+ posts]

After only two weeks my a2400db's positive terminal has stripped. (I guess you get what you pay for, even when you buy new.) I baby my equipment but I do a lot of swapping of subs/ boxes.

Anywho, I tried a bigger screw but it didn't work.

I don't have a tap and die and really don't want to pay to send it back for something so minor.

Any ideas?

Bolt and nut?

Bolt and nut?

Does that work for all terminal types? I guess I could try rethreading it with a larger bolt but it didn't work earlier...

Could always drill new holes in the case and install your own connectors...

you should be able to buy a tap a size bigger than the stripped hole at any hardware store for $5 or less, and a set screw to replace the old one for about a dime.

That would be the "most right" way IMO, and pretty cheap.
