How do I disconnect these?

Re: Quick speaker connector question

what are they? is that the inside of the cab, or is it two 1/4 inch plugs? Combo or head and speakers, ect?

Re: Quick speaker connector question

They're the wires that connect the speaker to the jacks in the cab. The wires have a metal connector on them that slides on/fits over the metal connectors on the speaker. I'm not sure how they come off.

They are called "spade" connectors
They slide on and off. You may have to wiggle backand forth to help them

P.S. Sometimes manufactureres put some solder on them, if so you'll have to remove the solder with a solder sucker or braid, so be careful and don't break the tabs

Ok, I got them off, but when they came off some of the braided wires connecting the wire to the connector broke. Should I just ditch the connectors and solder the wires directly to the speaker tabs, or reattach the connectors?

*bump*
Should I use connectors or solder the wires to the tabs?

Either way.

If you're good at soldering, it looks like your lugs would be easy to solder to, but the connectors are much easier. If it were me- I'd solder the wire back to the plug and use the plug to connect the speaker. I don't like soldering onto speakers.
