Just wondering if any of you'se guys have ever put lithium grease on your speaker terminals or your chasis grounds or anything like that to keep any moisture from getting to them.

I noticed some light rusting happening to the screws that hold the terminals in place on the speakers in the doors of my truck, so I cleaned it all up and slapped some on. Seems to do the trick.

there is special paste. it can be bought at any electonics parts supply shop. just ask or it by description. it actually has conductive properties.

 

I have a tub of white lithium grease with a small brush that I use for things like you described, and battery terminals, anything where you want an oxidation barrier. It can get a little messy and hold dirt and stuff, just wipe it off and re-apply. Not sure if it makes a big difference or not but I try to keep the grease away from the contact surface of the two connectors, just in case it reduces the electrical contact. Vaseline works well also.

I use Krown Rust Control spray on stuff. I'm not sure of it's composition but it keeps contacts clean and corrosion free as well as grounds rust free.

 

When I was in high school auto shop class, my teacher sprayed some stuff on the battery terminals of my Mustang GT. Terminals always looked good so I guess it did the trick. Couple years later my car wouldn't start. Turns out the wire completely corroded INSIDE. Dukk and I took the terminal off, cut the wire and it was complete powder inside. These were all factory pieces though. Never seen anything like it though.
