WCA Rusty Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 if your talking about mounting ring terminals there is a advantage to crimping over soldering, theres less resistance through the line.

kingsuv Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Soldering is something I do to other peoples cars when I work on there system, Nice and clean when done right. Mine however never gets it. I change build and rebuild too often to take the time to make it clean and tight. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

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...
meade916 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 if your talking about mounting ring terminals there is a advantage to crimping over soldering, theres less resistance through the line. i dont see how that could be true since when you solder your basicly making the terminal ONE with the wire where if its crimped, its tight but its still in TWO. Not saying it isnt true, you own a shop i dont.....i just dont understand how that could be. Maybe explain? ;D Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

vannerz93 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I used to work in the battery buisness & I did my share of 1/0 - 4/0 cable building for multiple battery banks.We used both crimping/soldering.Most terminal ends are basic copper,some brass,some titanium coated,& magnesium coated....All serving a certain purpose,IE: commercial banks,marine,& automotive.I have had seperation failure with soldered ends due to high heat & large amperage pulls (well over 2000 amps) on a carbon pile load test.I have also had crimp failure due to incorrect crimp GA to cable configuration.Both methods work sufficiently if built correctly.

geekepunk Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Crimping works fine for radio installs and the like if you use Klein-style crimpers to crimp. However, soldering and heatshrinking is worth the time and way cooler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyN Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 solder makes the joint one ( less resistance ) .......with crimping only a fraction of the coper is in contact with the connector Quote 2 12" Jeff Vue Customs 1 set MB Quart FSB 216 in doors1 American Bass 100.1 on sub1 Hertz EP2 on doorsJVC deck IPOD controlStock 105 amp alt DD-1big 3new build in Chevy caviler http://www.stevemead...chevy-cavalier/last set up in the ZX2 http://www.stevemead...-current-build/old build log http://www.stevemead...-1998-ford-zx2/ Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves.

Tek Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 crimping is fine as long as you aren't using it on something that draws a lot of current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKBass Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Soldering is more solid and alot cleaner, just harder to take off. Solder is actually easier to take off just re-heat it and viola, the terminal or connection will pull right apart.
