the difference between a quality cup and a bolt with a nut on it is the potential for that bolt to turn on the inside (with the wire on it) if you ever mess with it at all from the outside. We make cups that don't do that. https://wccaraudio.com/smd-tcr-1-speaker-terminal/?searchid=0&search_query=tcr . Oh and that whole thing about "terminal cup cutouts causing high pressure unbalanced resonance that tore cones" is absolute bullshit. The nutty things that wannabee car audio guys say is so mind boggling...don't pay any attention to that nonsense. Use a bolt if you want to use a bolt. Use a cup if you want to use a cup. Your subs won't care at all.
