Hey Michael, its been over a year since logging in to post. You know, I tried to make my own stranded copper wire to connect from the terminal on the Imperial 5G woofer to the connection on the cone. I bought a spool of speaker wire. Once stripped, it yielded about 6 or so very thin copper strands. So I did this to a couple more lengths and then carefully twisted them all together. I soldered the one end to the woofer clip terminal. I barely the other end to the spot on the cone where the wire goes because there was very little there to solder to. So having it somewhat connected, I hooked them up to my Pioneer SX636 tuner/amp and they sounded great! I cranked up the bass and SNAP! There went the stranded wire connection I had just soldered onto the left speaker woofer cone. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I love these speakers (original cabinets, missing grills), but I'm afraid trying to re-solder that stranded wire lest the cone connection burns through or something.
