Eeek - T&E for speaker cable - surely you should be using diamond
encrusted
platinum cables with a coating of snake oil  - the hifi purists will be out
to get you!

Seriously, I bought a load of speaker binding posts from maplin (the ones
with two banana plugs holes - one red one black), a 19 inch rack
blanking-plate off ebay and rolled my own using a bench drill. Terminate
your T&E in crimped tags and attach to back of binding posts (they have
a
thread and a nut to hold tag in place).
