dr hypothesis Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Although I've been building boxes and installing for 8 or 9 years now, I've actually never soldered. Had a friend who I did a lot of installs with that would usually do it. Not sure why I never learned from him. Anyways, I checked out the stickied topics here and they helped quite a bit. I more or less used the method Steve showed. Heating the top part of the ring, got a good puddle going, then heated the bottom part of the ring so the solder sucked down into the wire. Enough that a little bit dripped out the bottom. Then put another puddle on top and tried to get it to flatten out. Edit: N/M on the question I had. It seems these came out pretty solid for me. Guess I shall see when I actually get to run my wiring. 2001 Chevy Impala Eclipse CD7200 mkii Cactus Sounds 5kw Sundown 100.4 (2) Fi BTL 18s (walled) ID 6.5s (2 sets) Iraggi 320 amp Alt XS Power Batts KnuKonceptz Wiring MidwestSPL Scores: 152.0 Advanced 2 136.1 Extreme 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr hypothesis Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 No, I didn't use any flux. Just 60/40 rosin core solder with a good ole propane torch. 2001 Chevy Impala Eclipse CD7200 mkii Cactus Sounds 5kw Sundown 100.4 (2) Fi BTL 18s (walled) ID 6.5s (2 sets) Iraggi 320 amp Alt XS Power Batts KnuKonceptz Wiring MidwestSPL Scores: 152.0 Advanced 2 136.1 Extreme 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
