I replaced the tweeters of my loudspeakers. I don't have experience in
soldering and I failed doing so. I tried many times, I followed the
instructions but I couldn't do it. What is your opinion in this
matter: is soldering a must or would it be sufficient to twist and
tape the wires tightly?


Solder is best, but wire nuts or crimp on connectors will work fine.

Twisting the wires together and applying electrical tape is second-rate
work, but it will function. It may fall apart after a couple of years,
so it's better to use a more permanent solution.


Google "western union splice"

Plenty good.
