kandiman71874 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 OK, this thread has been cleaned up now. If i have to come in and clean up any more crap between the 3 problem children in this thread, people will be taking some time off from SMD. You are all grown ass men so stop acting like E thuggin argumentative 12 year olds. ITS FUCKIN RETARDED. Now, you want to stop issues with corrosion on a wire? On open terminals, crimp it (with a good crimping device), solder the end to seal off all exposed wires and help induce better continuity and they use this magical stuff called HEAT SHRINK.. If it is a closed terminal like a welding lug, crimp, drill the end open to solder if you so desire then heat shrink the connection. People seem to forget that moisture WILL seep in that small area between the wires insulation and the lug terminal you are using. A sealing type double walled heat shrink is your best bet at preventing corrosion issues Daily Driver 1999 Kia Sephia Kenwood DNX-893s Audison Bit One Processor 2 Dat 4.125's Sundown Audio SCV-6k Hertz hsk-165xl's Mids running active Focal V30 Series Tweeters running active Sundown Sa-8 v1's in the doors 2 Sundown Zv5 12's Lots of Hushmat Big 3+ and 3 + & 3- runs of Trystar 2/0 2 Dc Power Engineering 320 HP Alts 2017 Comp Vehicle 2006 Toyota 4 Runner Kenwood Excelon DNX-893s Audison Bit One HD DSP 4 Sundown Sa 6.5v2 Component Sets Focal Access 6.5 2 ways Sundown Audio Sax-50.4 Sundown Audio Sax-100.4 2 Dc Power 370xp Northstar agm27f Northstar agm65 2 Northstar asmagm 480's 2 Dual 1 Sundown Nightshade v3 12's 2 Sundown SCV-7500's All SMD Fuse Holders Shitload Of Sundown 1/0 120 sq ft Second Skin Damp Pro No, Its Not A Burp Truck!!!! 2016 Season 3rd place in Xtreme 1 At Finals 2016 Season 6th Place In Kaos 1 At Finals ( Blew The Subs Up In First Round Eliminations) 2 Kansas State Records Set In 2016 In Xtreme 1 And Kaos 1 In Midwest SPL David said: audio is a lifestyle, not a hobby newls1 I cant read a tape to save my life... 1/2's are ok, but other marks confuse me kingsuv only men who cant read a tape, take it in the ass kingsuv you sir, get a pink hard hat on jobsites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 kinda depends on how you crimp. If you just smash down a pair of pliers or hammer it down, then maybe solder is better for you.

Lumpydonut 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 Ah but silver-bead solder SUCKS. It has to get SO much hotter. Lead/tin solder flows so much better. The conductivity shouldn't matter THAT much, most of the copper is in direct contact with the terminal anyway. Unless like I said you suck at soldering like me lol. 12 ton hydraulic crimper FTW 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Pioneer DEH5100-UB 2 - P1S412 4 - Alpine SRS-600 Alpine MRP-M500 Monster 8g power/ground-1/0 Big 3 Soon to come: 2 - T1D212 RF T1500.1bdCP RF T500.4bd Mechman 220 amp alt Kinetik KHC1800 Hit me up if you need help with anything in the Tulsa Area.

finkster Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 All of the wires in my car are soldered, even the big ones. But if I have it my way then I would have gotten some hydrolic crimpers for the 1/0 and saved time.

Noob_On_Droid Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I work at corrosion Control, I HATE CORROSION!! Everything I fabricate will get primed and topcoated. My car is due for a rewire and it will be done much differently now that I understand the different forms of corrosion and its causes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Idc what everyone else says. I solder no matter what kinda wire it is. With all the vibrations in the car, shit will come loose eventually. Would you rather have a 100 story skyscraper just "locked" together, or a welded frame? Yeah. Soldering is not welding. Soldering is taking some sh!tty soft metal (why do you think you can melt it with a $10 thing that plugs into the wall) and running it between the other components. Welding involves melting the components at their surface so that when it cools they are physically joined. A proper crimp actually achieves what is called 'cold welding' where, due to the maleability of the metals, the 2 components physically merge. There's a damn good reason that all the wires in your car are crimped, everything in aerospace is crimped, anything in power generation or transmission is crimped (well not any more, they use those twist-off bolt lugs now) and it's not because soldering a wire that big would take too long. 10.x volts fo' life!
