[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8463054, member: 576029"] just solder the wire before inserting it into the amp. that way you aren't crushing the wiring. but you also lose surface area when you do that because the set screw terminal pushes wiring away so it fills the bottom. it's important to have strain relief independent of the connection so the set screw isn't holding the wiring in place. both pics on the front page are of poor methods because they lack strain relief. yes, you will break strands with a set screw into stranded wire but you gain surface area contact.
