Default Changing Arc 602's to BP 7.1's connectors different

I am changing out the Arc 602's and putting in the Biketronics 7.1's. The bigger spade connector (which is the positive one on the 602) is the same size as on the 7.1, but the smaller spade is a different size on the two speakers. Will I have to run a different speaker wire from my amp to the 7.1's? It doesn't appear I can just uninstall the 602 and install the 7.1 and connect the pos and neg terminals as the small terminal is a different size. Sorry for the basic question.....

Go to an audio shop or a Radio Shack or even Home Depot as they sell these connectors. Crimp the correct size on the POS and NEG wires and ur done. The even sell the waterproof shrink ones at certain locations.

From the thread it sounds like you probably already know this, but the large spade is negative on the 7.1 (opposite of the 602)

Curious why you're making the speaker change?

I want to hear how the 7.1s sound bridged to a B54 after hearing the 602's in that setup. I also run Biketronics 6x9's in the kids bridged to a second B54.

Just curious, not the biggest fan of the BT speakers. LOVE everything else though.
