I have Canare 4S11 with WBT spades. I found it is very easy to connect the spades using just WBT sleeves and the tool supplied with the spades. Just slip a ferrule (sleeve) over the exposed 4S11 wire, insert the end into the WBT spade and tighten with the wrench. The screws compress the ferrule onto the wire, thereby connecting the spades quite snugly. Don't waste a dime on a crimping tool. You don't need it.
WBT Spades -- Crimping needed??
I just purchased some Canare 4S11 cable and am looking to terminate them properly. I'd like to connect the speaker end of the cable with spades (biwire), and so far I've read that WBT make the best spades.
However, it was not clear to me whether I can insert wires directly into the WBT spades or whether I need to insert a sleeve onto the wires before adding on the spades.
I have no crimping tools and am not looking forward to have to purchase any, so any help is appreciated.
