I wouldn't solder. Just my 2 cents. yeah it looks neat, but causes resistance. crimp.

really? i hate crimping because it shakes it self loose. i would think that soldering with electrical solder and flux makes a better connection? i will have to research this now.

nothing, gutted

better remove your distro blocks and fuse block/fuses with this logic too...............................................................

Solder/Crimp/Set-screw small awg.

Crimp/Set-screw larger awg such as 2awg & up ...

I prefer set-screw(s) all the way around.

solder myself... any and all wire

the resistance is minuscule... you have more resistance from the lug on the battery post than solder in the fucking lug

just solder your wire directly onto the posts

i have 2 runs of postive and negative... 0.00 voltage drop from front to back

0.00 from alt to front battery
