soundstream15 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 So I redid my big 3 and I soldered my terminals with a soldering gun..I mean it worked but I see ppl use torches so is there a difference and if I do use a torch would that help voltage?
95legwagon Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 i find that if you use a torch it really helps in keeping the ring terminal on...... either way would work but using a torch is sooooo much easier imho i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

Wicks Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 What is the wattage of your solder gun? Did the solder wick down into the wire strands, along the whole length of the terminal? If so, you're good! if the solder just melted on top then it's not a good connection.
