What is the best way to come off a speaker with a second set of wires, as in running speakers in parrallel? The MB Quart speakers have lug sizes that I can't find that will accept two 14ga. wires to crimp into, so I either have to splice off prior to the speaker lugs, or????

I usually splice off prior (I usually have to cut the wire to length anyway).
I did buy some female lugs that allow stacking, but can't always use them.

I did get some of the lugs that allow stacking, thinking that would be the way to go. They fit perfect on the positive lug (.250), but the negative lug is very small, and the lug wont fit securely. I guess I'll strip back the first lead and solder on a second wire and heat shrink tubing over it. I was just looking for a cleaner way.
