[QUOTE="Torgus, post: 5568190, member: 571636"] reason = fail if you were AT ALL concerned about the wire you were using was too small you would go down to the next gauge before soldering to increase surface area. also a good crimp has basically as much contact as a solder filled contact. you're talking about 1-2% more surface area at most. it's so small it's not even worth mentioning and as i said if 2% really matters you should be using a lower gauge wire anyways. and yes i did edit it because i wanted to clarify how stupid soldering the contact on is 99% of the time. and again 99% of the people on here don't know how to correctly solder, which solder to use, and what contacts to buy. can you give me one GOOD reason to solder the contact on vs crimping?
