|  Spade lugs to spring loaded speakers | Quackster Nov 27, 2001 10:59 AM | | How to you connect spade lug terminated speaker cable to spring loaded speaker terminals? Are there spade lug to pin adapters? Can you use banana adapters? Help! |

Norm seems to have a pretty good catalog with that type of stuff in it.
If the spades are small enough diameter, you could also just use a screw and nut in the spade as a clamp and stick the tail of the screw in the clip.
