The 4-conductor cable features four 12AWG conductors, two for each polarity, which creates a 9 AWG aggregate/effective gauge speaker cable. Two 9 AWG conductors will fit into a single copper crimp sleeve, to be inserted onto the spade connector. A simple, single indentation shaped like a trough is created by a crimping tool unto the soft/malleable crimp sleeve, just deep enough so the pair of set-screws have a good groove to grip.
The dual set-screws grab the copper crimp sleeve with enough torque to create a firm grip on the sleeve, and to press hard onto the surface of the opposite wall of the spade connector body. You won't need to seal the connector by the use of heat shrink, Cougar. It's a very effective method that I prefer vs. the high-torque crimping that relies on the hardcore deformation of a high-mass copper or brass spade connector, which can fail over the test of time.
