Question:

How do you solder wires together?

And if anyone could give me percise instructions on wiring subs to 1 or 4 ohm that would be great. I have two dual 4 ohm subs and need to know how to solder wires or crimp wires.

Answer:

JUST USE BLACK TAPE ,MAKES IT EASIER TO DEAL WITH LATER

really pretty simple.you can buy a cheap soldering iron for about eight bucks at walmart that comes with solder.plug the iron in and let it heat for about four to five minutes.while waiting on it to heat up twist the wires together.once the iron is hot put it on the wires and heat them for about thirty seconds.once they are hot put the solder on the wires and it will start to melt .use they iron to spread the solder over wires.it will be bonded and your ready to go.
To properly solder wires you first strip off about 1/2 inch of the jacket and twist the wires together. Now heat the exposed wires, not the solder, till you can get the solder to melt when touched to them. If you really want a pro job use shrink-tubing to finish the job--it must be slipped onto the wires before soldering, then heat with a small butane torch or jet lighter. For wiring diagrams on hooking up dvc subs I like the rockford fosgate website. Hope this helps.
