Hello friends
I
recently bought a pair of speakers (pUre Acoustics HT-800, 100W, 8Ω) and I’m confused about the terminal connection.

On the back, instead of the usual spring clip or binding post, there is a green 2-pin terminal block with “+” and “–” marked (picture attached). I’m not sure how exactly to connect the speaker wire to this type of connector.the pin is rigid.

Do I need to use a special plug, or can I insert the bare wire directly? If anyone has experience with this type of connection, I’d really appreciate your guidance.
TIA

The screws are inaccessible as it's under that terminal. It's push-type spring terminal block. But is soo hard
1. You need the small philips screwdriver. From beneath the terminal have the screwdriver upside down, pointing upwards and turn the screw anti-clockwise. Keep on turning till you see a gap where the spring and the upper point of contact. If it makes easier you can have the speaker upside down on your bed or soft cloth so as not to scratch the surface. Keeping the speaker upside down will allow you to have the screw at the top.

2. Twist the bare portion of exposed copper wire. You can bend over the exposed part so that the length becomes half. The usual practice is to tin the bar portion using a soldering rod and solder so that the exposed portion becomes stiff.

3. Insert the stiff bar portion in the gap between the spring and the upper point of contact. Once inserted, tighten the screw using the same philips screwdriver clockwise. If the spring is still stiff, use a tooth pick and insert in in the spring and then insert the wires and then remove the tooth pick.

4. If you had placed the speaker upside down you may now have the speaker back to original orientation and use it as you see fit.

There are many ways to skin the cat. Just use your imagination and you will do good.
