    k Amp will be here thurs or friday and im gonna do everything and i wana do it once, perfect, i wana put my panels back on correctly and hopefully not have to touch anything for a while, yeah i know, thats a long shot.

    What crimps and connectors do u recomend for speaker wire to amp, power wire to amp?

    Is soldering worth it for the connections from speaker cable to speaker?

    I have the highest quality cables from monster, mostly 400 series stuff, i wana do it right.

    I've always gone out of my way to make sure all of my wires are soldered. I wouldn't say its necessary to solder it to the actual speaker, though.

    I agree. Solder your connections to your wire and then use heat shrink. If you can get your hands on them the connections that JL Audio offer are terrific. They make them in 16, 12 and 8 guage. I like them because they fit pretty much every thing out there. Some of the spade connections you get are to wide of a lot of passive crossovers and you either have to bend them or trim them down.
