Question Tweeter wire connection

Soldering may seem like an easy process but it's not always straight forward, if your not experienced with it do some youtubing first to see what a good solder joint and a cold solder joint looks like. It can really kill your install if not done correctly.
Thanks for the tip! I have solder before; but it has been awhile. What is your throughts on cutting the focal tweeter wire shorter and soldering a 14 gauge wire to it if I extend the tweeter wire back to the rear hatch area where I plan to located the crossovers?
