so i decided on banana plugs for my speaker post.  i compared those with the speaker post and the banana's seem to be more stealty is guess is the word.  how should i mount these?  i was thinking of sticking them though the fleece fabric that i havent soaked in resin yet.  after that applying resin to the fleece in the area around the banana plug post.  then apply matting.  but im not sure if i do this if the plugs will get ruined or affected by the resin.  maybe wrapping foil and tape around the plugs? anyone with any ideas that are bad or good would be great, i like bad ideas, i like my stuff to be a little differnt then from what everyone else does, they do big simple wood boxes, i build pretty fiberglass boxes :)  maybe if i took the post and made a little fiberglass thingie outside the box, kind of pre-made, then mounting that to the box?   damm how do yall do this so easy?

you could have just drilled holes for it after you resined it.

On the12volt, pictures are always required.

Indeed it does.  Is your whole enclosure fiberglass or just the post mount?  Be careful, if you're anything like me, this speaker post mount will turn into an entire fiberglass interior, and eventually your own shop.
