You can strip back the wire on the loom, and splice in the wire from the speaker and solder it, or you can use a crimp connector with added heat shrink, the connectors (Scotch locks )I used for the temporary bodge were the only connectors I had at the time, and did not have a soldering iron, that bodge remained on the car until the day it left my hands I am afraid to never got round to rectifying it.

In running wire joints, Rover used splice joints, which are essentially tubular crimps with blue insulation tape wrapped around the joint. You can emulate this by carefully removing the insulation on the running cable using side cutter to strip the sheath without cutting the conductor, then wrapping the new cable around very tightly, then soldering, simply tinning the joint will be sufficient, then taping with a quality tape.

Hi Brian. You did not like my temporary Scotch lock bodge then I have to agree with you of cause only thing I had at the time, soldering would be good as you suggest, with heat shrink or tape. 1 I think this method is also suitable cut loom wire then join speaker to loom one end add the heat shrink/glue connector loom wire the other end crimp & heat to seal. 2 3 4 I don't think I have ever used the Scotch locks before or after that first time
