how to put together 6awg thhn speaker cables


I've read of the incredible bargain the Home Depot/Lowe's 6awg cable is for speaker cables. I've bought the cables. I have 4 18' lengths.
Can someone kindly explain how exactly I would go about making the cables. I would assume a spade of some sort would be best to accept a cable of this thickness.

I think Bound for Sound may have originally made the recommendation when he was using a Pass Labs X-250 power amp. I tried and still use the cable. You weave the cables around each other loosely about 10-12" and terminate with spades tat will fit the wire. I eventually soldered mine on as I play around with a lot of cables and the crimped on spades eventually came loose.
