    Hey! I have some JBL 6x9's. Sometimes the drivers side smaller connection just falls off. I've tried to pinch it on. But it has to be wiggled to a certain place to work and that doesn't last long.

    Can I hot glue it in place or is that dangerous? Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

    Solder is better
    Heatshrink tubing would also likely hold it very well

    i would suggest changing the spade terminal at the end of the wire before cramming more stuff onto the loose connection.

    most auto parts stores stock the female spades needed, just need a wire strippers, crimp tool, and standard door removal tools.

    That makes more sense. I'll try that.
