No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

Granny ring,

If you use the terminal ring/spade linked above, you can crimp the terminal with 8” channel locks.  The medal is soft.  Alternatively, Amazon has $15 crimping tools, including one that has a cradle and piston you hit with a hammer.  I suggest you try the channel locks first, allowing one of the tabs on the terminal to overlap the other.  To keep the wire from coming out of the terminal, I bent over few of the strands before crimping.  I achieved a very tight and secure fit.

Good Luck

This is utterly fascinating.

I may split the cable into two equal portions then both crimp and solder. A good soldering iron would flow solder without too much difficulty and quickly.  I like the termination process of crimp and solder. I would simply stack the two spades at the binding post. Still thinking on this.

Good luck to all of you, building your new cables.

Hope you'll enjoy the process as well as the results.

Thanks for the sharing.

b4icu,

Michael, presently both ends are connected by spades.

I just went to douglasconnection.com introduce by grannyring to purchase 8 banana and 8 spade connectors size for 4AWG wire. On checkout, they only ship to a US address. I am not from US, so I contacted them by email to see if they can help. Waiting for their response.

I plan to use banana at the Telos 600 end and spade at the speaker end. So I run 4awg 1.5m to mid/high and another 4awg 1.5m to the woofer. I cannot find special coaxial connector for the amp.

I have another Telos 600 connected to the Revel Voice 2 Centre speaker, should I use the same 4AWG 1.5m?

My good friend have a Passlabs 350.8 to Wilson Alexia Speakers 2.5m. Kindly advise for his cable size. Thank you so much for all your help. We would have save lots of money if we know you earlier. Have a good day.
