Skullz Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Crimping is far better than soldering due to it compressing the wire vs. loose and having solder flow in between the strands, people tend solder cause they don't feel like buying a crimping tool. Best method is to crimp the lug and then solder the tip to keep the elements from the wire so it won't corrode and begin to break down the joint. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
