Bmike Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 yes you will need a torch, the reason would be, you have more heat coming from the torch to heat up a larger area, theres no way an iron/gun would be able to heat up that much area long enough for the wire to saturate the solder. 2007 trailblazer lthead unit- pioneer p4300dvd crescendo ft-1 supertweeters pioneer m650 pros audiocontrol 2xs crossover Rockford fosgate p200-2 highsrockford fosgate p400-2 mids1- fi btl 18amps- saz 3500battery- evermax in front, 2 9a31 dekas in rearwires all knuconceptz 1/0 and rcas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobwires Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Solder only is unsafe practice. You will find that in more 'important' applications (military, industrial, heavy duty) large conductors are never soldered. The solder acts as a fuse and will sometimes melt before the fuse blasting hot solder all over the place and potentially arcing things out. If your crimps are coming apart you're either not crimping them right, using crap connectors, or both. I love to crimp then solder - nice and tight - but I do it for corrosion resistance, not connection quality. The skin effect has absolutely no application here.
