Grounded speaker

[N_Cook]

Peavey mod 054 in a Basic 122, one side of the voive coil grounded to the
basket and hence the magnetised polepiece. Ok it strengthens the spade
terminal strip but why risk a blown voice coil, from current surges, from
wire/s touching rust or swarf flecks, when it may well survive just the
abrassion? Or is there some acoustic or amp stability relevance?

An abraded VC isn't going to survive long in a guitar amp so it really
makes no difference to me if the minus lug is common with the basket.
