skittlesRgood Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 it depends on what i am doing. most of the time with speaker wire, 14awg and under, i just crimp. 8awg and up i crimp then solder the terminal on. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

zayres29 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 solder is stronger and will last longer but as stated above usually unneeded for smaller wire Btw that was the first person.

michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 would you recommend soldering 4 and 0 gauge? or compress crimp ? do they both have equal connection quality or is soldering better electrical connection?

michigancapri92 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 reason i ask is because some people say its better to compress crimp large wire and some say soldering is better would like to clear it up with some heavy veteran bass heads :-) something i am not yet Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayres29 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 soldering with pure silver is best and is most conductive and i would recommend soldering 4 and 0ga wire usually if the solder joint is good solder has better conductivity in general Btw that was the first person.

jeyrapboy Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I personally solder everything but speaker wire... Its cheaper for me to because i have the propane torch already all i had to do was buy solder and propane which was like $8 total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zayres29 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 wouldnt pure silver solder be very expensive ?? yeah its more expensive but you gotta pay for the best... most solder has silver in it just look for the lead/silver/tin % on the label Btw that was the first person.
