Brandonbkd Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I use 60/40 rosin core solder as well as some wire flux. If you go to homedepot or lowes, they have soldering kits that's come with everything you need for like $25. I think it comes with a propane blowtorch, solder, flux, and a flux brush. The flux is a MUST if you don't want to completely melt the insulation off as it will wick the solder into the wire at a much lower temperature making it where you don't need to use as much heat.

Brandonbkd Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 For 1/0 and up, I use the propane torch. But for really anything smaller than that I use this little butane torch I got from advanced auto FI BL18 Build Log: CLICK HERE!! 2003 Explorer Sport: FI BL18 SoundQubed 2200 at 0.7ohm Pioneer DEH-2500UI Pioneer 6 x 8s Rockford Fosgate 6 x 9s 5 ft^3 box at 35hz Lots of Mega Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k3n12ock Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 If you buy the one posted, it's more than enough for 10 lugs. Trust, each lug doesn't require too much and the one posted is real thick solder. 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2loud4uboyz Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Go to Wal-Mart in the car audio look around there and you can get a small roll for 2 dollars. Well I can at my wal-marts . I like the home depot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
