Parts you need:
12 or 10 AWG wires (twisted pairs are best, but you can parallel wires or space them as you see fit)
Terminals if you want them (bananas & spades are popular)
Cable pants if you want them
Braided wire sheathing if you want it
Tools you need:
1. Wire tool, HD Soldering Iron & (optional) wire cutter:
2. Strip your wire covering back until you have the desired lead length & strip about ½ inch or so of insulation from each wire tip using the wire tool:
3. OPTIONAL - If you're making bi-wire cables, twist the wires together on one end:
4. Tin the wires using the soldering iron - Sometimes having a vise helps hold the wires:
5. If you want plugs or other terminations solder them on now:
6. Insulate the terminals:
7. If you want sheathing or ties on the wires, add them now & trim if needed:
9. Enjoy your new wires:
