Philojet,
Timo is right in his assessment. Here's a couple hints to keep you from constantly chopping off and reconnecting your new speaker wire. Buy some cheap, thin cotton gloves and wear them while you are cutting and stripping the wire. Use a washer on the binding posts placing the wire between the washer and the amp/crossover. Tighten the binding posts as tight as you can BY HAND. Oil and air is what hastens oxidation. You will need to re-terminate once or twice a year at most if you follow this advice.
