....of the test track that the amp gain was tuned to? Is this statement alluding to that? "Track 3 will ensure maximum sound quality, Track 7 will result in a louder system, Track 5 is a compromise). Your choice." I've read several pages of this forum before asking this question, and found no answer. Hoping some of you know the answer to this question.

Thanks for putting me on the list Damato. I noticed there is a real lack of people with DD-1s and other tools in the CNY area.

How To: Solder Large Gauge Wire.
prodigal_son replied to meade916's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
JakeMN Yes, drop the pellet into the closed barrel of the lug and heat it until it melts, then insert the cable into the molten solder. I don't know about Menard's, we don't have those here. Home Depot is a no, but an electrical supply place may have them. The internet will help you, check Del City. -
How To: Solder Large Gauge Wire.

Definitely use flux, and if the solder doesn't flow, add more flux. It's not necessary to sand the inside of the terminal so it's bright, you're chemically cleaning it with the flux. I'm suprised that no one mentioned solder pellets for the big closed lugs? Or tin/solder pots for tinning wires? Tinned wires aren't always the answer though. If you twist em round and tin them for insertion into your amp outputs, you ultimately give up a lot of surface/transfer area versus a flattened cable, tinned or not. If you leave your twisted up cables bare, they flatten and spread out easier.
