I don't like crimp wires because if you do it wrong it'll get pulled off pretty easy, soldering it just gives you that peace in mind that it isn't going anywhere. I solder 4 gauge and 0 gauge wire before and eh, it takes awhile and you'll need a higher powered soldering gun to heat up all that copper.

I use flux 44.

I just used electrical rosin core silver bearing solder and a propane torch with plenty of flux.
