Need soldering help.

tbonesteak · 03-23-2010, 03:58 PM

Hey guys,

I'm working on an audio install on the z. I've done many installs in the past and have been using butt connectors. This time around i'd like to solder all the wires but have no soldering experience whatsoever. Can anyone help me solder the wires? I'd ofcourse pay to have you help me and i can learn and watch as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll make the drive to your place and will have everything ready to solder. Thanks in advance fellas.

Take your wires that you are going to solder together.

Start by sliding your heat shrink over and away from the soldering points.

Than instead of twisting the wires together to a point. You want to wrap them around each other so they will look like one single wire when your done. Make sure to wrap them tight.

Warm up your solder gun before starting to solder.

After warm up melt a bit of solder onto the tip and flick it off in a direction that is like the ground.

Place the solder gun under the wire and apply light pressure.

After a few moments slowly start feeding soldering into the joint of the wire starting in the middle or the end of the joint and working fully threw the joint.

After it cools slide your heat shrink over the joint and use a heat gun or lighter to shrink it over the joint.

Your done move to the next one.

If you do not understand anything I explained please ask.
