Should You Solder Speaker Wire Ends. Also as stated there wont be any sonic improvements rather connectivity improvements. While soldering always works above a heat-resistant surface and away from anything flammable.
Simply touch the solder wire to the speaker wire and tabs to solder them. DO NOT melt the solder by making direct contact with the soldering iron. While soldering always works above a heat-resistant surface and away from anything flammable.
It might happen due to excessive heat but it mainly happens thanks to solder getting under the insulation by capillary action.
Hi I need to extend some 14 Gauge wire and need advise on whether I should be using crimp connectors or whether I should solder the wires. By the time you get the wire and connector heated enough to make the solder flow the insulation on the speaker wire will be melting. There is simply no need. DO NOT melt the solder by making direct contact with the soldering iron.
