Installing Spade Connectors for stock Rel Speakon Cables

OP you strip the two wires back. Take the stranded wire and part it down the middle in to two separate equal parts, so two wires will have 4 halves.

Twist all 4 halves clockwise BUT keep them separate.

Take two of the 1/2s (one from each of the 2 wires) and twist them together clockwise. Do the same to the second pair CLOCKWISE

Take the 4 that were made into 2 and twist them together clockwise holding the base of the 2 wires very tightly when you do this.

You have just been taught the correct way to mechanically join stranded wire OR the proper way for a single wire to be mechanically prepared to insert into a terminal end. NO MATTER how it's to be secured. 
Crimped
Soldered
Screws

The only other thing you can do is "tin" the end properly for solder or what ever you intend to do. Bare wire usage etc..

IF you want to one up your game, dip the ends in contact enhancer and secure it. DO NOT use contact enhancer when soldering. It's ok to tin the ends and then dip them as long as you don't solder after the application.

Second if you're going to be soldering the ends, be aware of the outside covers getting to hot and off gassing.. Teflon is a real killer..
BE CAREFULL!!!

Armor and shrink tube if you like. Home use I doll them up a bit..:-)
Field work.. THICK THICK Outer covers, pretty is not an option holding up is...

You may not connect 2 amps positive together directly. That's potentially explosive. :) 

It's OK if a high value resistor is between them (say 1kOhm or higher). 

Not sure what's going on with this cable. :) 

oldhvymec that is very helpful. I'll do that and get a screw on spade. 

erik_squires Rel subs are designed when used in dual configuration, the yellow and red wire from the Speakon cable both go to the positive, the black wire go to the negative. 

@sean1216 that depends if you are using a stereo amp, dual monos, or differential. Which are you using?

@geof My setup is Naim Nova -> Triangle Signature Alphas. Since Nova only has recessed banana plugs, Rel recommended putting the high level connection of the T9x's Speakon cables to the back of the speaker post on the Alphas. RIght now everything is setup and sounding good. I just don't want bare wire on the speaker post, so I'm trying to combine the red and yellow cable into a spade connector. That would be a cleaner setup.

FYI, the Speakon has 3 cables to the speaker post, red, yellow and black. In dual subwoofer setup, red and yellow both go to the positive and black go to the negative. 

There should be no issue going with spades and combining if that is the connection setup REL recommends. I use bananas on custom built Speakons. That is, as long as the gain isn’t too high, in which case, just eliminate either the red or yellow wire to each side.

+1 @ geof3

I have done the same with bananas with one sub run to right channel, the other to left
