OK

I feel kinda stupid asking this... but I'm trying to find a white wall plate (speaker terminal), one that sits flush with spring loaded terminals not banana plugs. I could have sword I've seen em at PartsExpress in the past but I jsut can't seem to find them there now. These will be for my surround speakers, I'm trying to save money since I'm already way over budget on the remodel plus banana plugs stick out too far anyway, with these I could mount the speakers right over them.

Anyone seen em at PE or elsewhere?

I seem to remember seeing them at RatShack. Check out their site.

or,you could just buy a cable tv plate,insert a gromet and stick the wire through and just connect your wire directly to the speaker....ron

If he was just running the wire straight through, and then covering it up with the speaker, woudl there really be any benefit? I mean, if the work is going to be covered up anyway, why run the risk of having extra area to cover (the entirety of the wall plate) rather than just the hole in the wall. It might make flush mounting easier too...

But, I agree, the wall-plate/gromet idea result in a nicer/cleaner finish job when the speaker isn't in place.

I just installed one of these this weekend. Works great from Radio Shack:
