Welcome to The Speaker Port! Up for a sale is a set of replacement speaker terminal plates for the Pioneer SX-980 vintage stereo receiver. This will allow you to replace the original speaker terminals with more modern banana plug terminals for both the A and B outputs. This conversion kit improves the look and wiring options for your 980. Once installed, it really looks spectacular and completely stock. You can re-purpose your original mounting hardware. Ring terminals are recommended to attach the original internal wires onto this new terminal plate. (Ring terminals not included). You can solder the internal speaker wires directly to the back of the terminals but care must be taken not to overheat them. One other thing to mention, in one of the pictures, it shows a black plastic spacer in the rear of the terminal; I no longer install these as they are really not needed for anything. If you want me to included them, let me know and I will put them bag with the hardware...otherwise, I normally discard them. NOTE: Installation of this part does require certain skills and competency using tools and a soldering iron. If you are not comfortable doing this work yourself, take it to a electronics shop and they should be able to do the work for you. We have developed this item on an actual SX-980 so fitment is guaranteed. The SX-980 is a vintage piece of equipment and as a result, you accept full responsibility/liability for the work required to install these parts in your system. Installation Instructions You will need some basic tools/materials, such as a Philips screw driver, wire cutters/strippers, soldering iron/solder and the above mentioned ring terminals. Remove the bottom cover of the receiver. you may also need to remove some of the rear panel screws in the area where the speaker terminals are mounted to allow you to pull back the rear panel which will make removing the old and installing the new terminals much easier. Remove the screws/nuts holding on the existing speaker terminals. Put these aside as you will re-use them to install the new plate. Important note....the original terminals along with the internal speaker wires are all mounted on a circuit board. These new terminals will NOT attach to that board. As a result, you will need to de-solder or snip off the internal speaker wires from that circuit board and then you will direct wire them to the new terminals. The wire mapping is as follows:Terminal A (top set)Left channel positive - Red wireRight channel positive - Blue wireTerminal B (bottom set)Left channel positive - Orange wireRight channel positive - Purple wireThere are two black wires for the ground (black negative terminals). We recommend that you attach them to the terminal A block and then run jumpers down to the terminal B block. It does not matter which one goes to which channel. They both tie to chassis ground. (See wire diagram in the photos section for more details on this.)Pull out the original terminals and snip off the original wires to the terminal circuit board. We highly recommend attaching ring terminals to the ends of these wires to make attaching to the new speaker terminals much easier. Once you have them attached to the new terminal, install them into the unit. Start with terminal block A and then B. Remember, you will be jumpering together the negative terminals for both A and B so plan your install accordingly. When securing the ring terminals with the supplied hardware, DO NOT overtighten the nuts and use the lock washers. WARNING: If you choose to solder the wires directly to the back of the new terminal plates, DO NOT overheat the back end terminals. Nothing more than a normal 40W soldering iron should be used and even so, make sure you are proficient in the right procedure for soldering wires onto terminals such as these. If the screw terminals gets too hot, it could melt the plate of the outside terminal spacers and/or warp the screw down wire nuts causing them to become loose. You can correct this by tightening up the nut of the back of the terminal, but it becomes much harder to do after you have attached wiring to them.
