Installing Spade Connectors for stock Rel Speakon Cables

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.
