[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5667451, member: 549629"] Soldering will always be superior. The solder will help create better contact between the wire and the terminal. The solder becomes liquid and when applied properly will create a higher surface-area contact bond between the two. This means less resistance to current flow. Ive seen the video showing a crimped connection having more holding strength than a soldered connection, but that's not the point nor is it relevant. The creator of the video failed to realize this, as have many that have watched it since. If that is what you are referring to as prior evidence against solder. IMO the best is simply to do both. I crimp and solder usually, because im anal and I worry about vibration. But if I was going to do one or the other, Id solder. [/QUOTE]
