[QUOTE="geowick07, post: 2411103, member: 568423"] Solder is the method i use. Same as a few described above. Put the terminal in a vise with the "cup" facing up. Heat it with a blow torch, and fill it up about halfway with solder. Then, slide the wire in, hit it with the torch once again, and voila, instant solder joint that is strong as hell. But, if you don't feel like going that route, or don't have access to a blow torch (as many people don't) the good old "hammer and your driveway" works just as well. When i used to do it that way, i went as far as sliding some heat shrink on the wire before i crimped it. Then, slide the heat shrink up and shrink it around the crimp. Works like a charm. Pick your poison, and have at it! [/QUOTE]
