[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 2213724, member: 562504"] Well, the problem with soldering is this. How the hell do you solder 4awg wire to your amp? You gotta use a crimp spade (in my case) or for those of you who have wire insert only, You guys have the fun task of fitting BIG *** WIRE in a not so big *** terminal and proceed to screw it down. Thats the thing i like best about my amp. It has wire insert or spade terminal inputs and outputs. Though when i crimp the spade on, i use about 2 feet of solder and about 35 mins with the iron to make the crimp to wire a solid piece of metal. That way the crimp doesnt come off, and has good conductivity. [/QUOTE]
