Saturday's Progress, Part 3: Let's Make a New Speaker Cable, conclusion

Now push your new wire through the hole in back of the plug where the old wire was.

Solder the new wire to the solder tab of the connector. Cut off any excess wire. You do not want to leave hardly any excess wire/solder here at all. Leaving a large blob will interfere with getting the insulator back in place on top of the plug.

Now it's time to push the connector back into the plug.

Note that the connector will only go into the plug one way. It must be oriented correctly to go back in. Push it back in gently and it will snap in place.

Lather, rinse, repeat for the remaining wires.

Finally, replace the insulator on the end of the plug.

Voila - new speaker cable! And it looks like it came from the factory this way.
