I'm wanting to use spade lugs on my 340's. What size spade opening do I need to fit properly? (too lazy to measure it myself) :rolleyes:

You'll need the 5/8" size for the Ascends.

Where can you find 5/8" spades? I'm finding a lot of 1/4" and 5/16", but nothing as big as 5/8".

Thanks,
John

I'm having the same problem. So for now, I'm using bananna plugs.

Gosh, I just can't believe that they require 5/8 spades!? That is one huge spade. I wonder if Eddie meant 5/16?

I just measured my spades for you and 5/16 is correct.

I just measured it. It is 5/16".

Edit: Quinn's too fast for me.

I just tried a set of 5/16 ring terminals, they would not fit. I'll see if I can get the spade lugs.

Actually, Curtis and I were taking bets on who would come back first with prices for 5/8" spades. hehehe

I've been looking for some 5/16" gold plated solder type spades for my Ascends. Everything I see is crimp, or clamp. I live in an enviroment with lots of salt air, so bare metal connections corrode quickly. Was able to find solder banana plugs here http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=412&sku=29784 but no spades.

Any leads?
