Bare wire to B&W 684?

Am I supposed to string the bare wire directly through the hole in the terminal/binding post on the back? If so, do you recommend flaying the wire at the cut end once through and then screwing down to hold in place or not flaying the wire?

If you are not supposed to string the bare wire through the hole, not sure what step to take. The spades my Belden 5T00UP came terminated with are too thin to fit in the binding post and the wire at 10AWG is too thick to wrap around the post.

Appreciate any guidance you can give a budding audiophile!
