speaker connectors for old pioneer car amp

secret_tramp

I have found an old pioneer car amp which I am going to rig up (see previous thread)

The model is GM 1000A.

I have the connecting kit but require the correct output connectors. There are 4 pins side by side - a circle, then square, then circle, then square - diameter approximately 4mm.

Can anyone point me towards the right connectors please?

Many thanks.

I know what you want, but don't know what the connector is called.

Yes that's it.

you handy with a solder? what i did was solder ofc free cables to my jensen comp amp output, then heat shrinked around the terminal to make the connection rigid.

the leads ofr that amp are
CDE2111 Power Cord Assy (4)
CDE1836 Output Cord (SPKR) Assy
CDE1840 BTRY BACK-UP CORD ASSY

so im guessing as it sais output it has to be the output cord speaker assy one cde1836 that part has now beeen replaced with cde2151 can find sellers i us not uk at moment heres a link to us. http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=CDE1836

No I am not handy with a solder, but if the part is gonna be expensive maybe I need to learn fast.

A bass tube i fitted for a mate had these connectors, they're quite common and I had the same type connector but with more pins and I just stanley-knifed it down to 4 pins. It worked fine.

Where does one get hold of this type of connector that can be modified?

I thinks its may be a 'molex mini fit' type connector

Maplin - go into a store with radio and guy behind comonents counter should help you

RS components - and industrial supplier - pricey and you have to kow what you want aqnd mi n order is usally quite large

Another place to look is www.polevolt.co.uk or www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk they both do all sorts of connectors for audio and engine loom plus lots more.

I've dealt with both and they're top notch.
