Installing Spade Connectors for stock Rel Speakon Cables

I recently acquired dual Rel T9Xs. I'm trying to turn the bare wire end of the Speakon cables into spade. Since the Red and Yellow go together on the positive speaker post, I was wondering if anything has tried to merge both cables into a single spade. If so, which spade connector has worked well. Thanks.

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.

@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.
