For those that cannot solder in confined spaces

[Eddie]

I use this method for my machines when installing volume controls (Check out my post NOT ENOUGH PRAISE). The controls are meant to be soldered to pc boards so their leads are very small>I did solder wire extensions to them to work easier. I used black heat shrink tubbing to seal the soldered joints. To make the connections to the speakers I simply twist the wire ends of the extensions to the cut positive wire ends of the speaker inline and seal the twists with heat shrink tubbing. I used clear in the pics to show the connection better. This way works very well for those that dont know how or are afraid to solder in the tight places usually neccessary for volume control location. The seal is very tight and strong and I have not encountered any problems. For those that can solder in those places Its still good to seal the work in heat shrink tubbing.

The connections ie Volume Controls and wires are then cleaned up and mounted with wire clamps or Zip ties. Not shown in pics done after.
