kingsuv Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I use Plumbing solder and a torch. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I've seen meade post pics of him soldering and he uses a torch. Its fairly easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 here is the torch i use...got it from home depot then slap the ring terminal and wire in a vice, heat the wire to where it is hot enought to melt the solder, then fill that bad boy up with solder...and you got this...

baseballer1100 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Do you need any flux? How do you make the solder flush like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 you just keep on fillin up the terminal with solder until it is at the top like that, then it just kinda pools up and cools/hardens like that...takes awhile to perfect (which i still havent done) because the heat needs to be just right...no flux Quote i likes me some audio stuff...

baseballer1100 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Ok so basically heat the wires hot enough that it melts the solder? How do you keep from melting the jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 try heating up the terminal on the back side of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballer1100 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Ok. im guessing it takes trial and error and some practice. Mapp gas or propane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
