I hate soldering terminals. It's a PITA, time consuming and you have to
unsolder it if you need to take the speaker out or if you want to invert the
polarity at the speaker. A good crimp connection is the way I fly.

its pretty easy to melt the wires off the terminals
as you solder your wires on...

The wires can just simply be resoldered.



Maybe since when you solder they cant resell as
new after you send it back and they fix it...

We will normally just pop on a whole new terminal, they cost like $.59

The main reason speaker companies don't like soldering is becuase of the
heat. That goes straight to the voice coil and could melt the glue and
cause
the winding to uncoil. As long as you know what you're doing, it's not a
problem. Soldering is the only way I do it.
