The screw down ones (second pic) provide a much better connection and accept larger wire.

Radioshack also sells them.

JRace the size of the wire is just speaker wire no ?

The dollar/surplus stores sell them too for a pretty cheap price as well. LOTS of places where you can get them for sure!

Yes. most screw down binding posts acept up to 12-10gauge wire. While most spring loaded ones (your first picture) only accept up to 16gauge.

I myself like these:

--the threaded part goes inside the box and is wired to the driver--
I get them at www.solen.ca not sure if you can get them in store though.
They are called binding posts.

radioshack is now The Source by Circut City
