Replacing internal wiring.

You'd get less skin effect too, Sean.

Well inside my amps, they use the insulated spade connectors, and all I would have to do is remake some new jumbers and presto, it would be done.

Soldering is not heating and applying the stuff , there has to be a cleaning process and proper priming if needed to be succesfull

I have replaced the internal wires (Monster) of my Snell
J/4's speakers with Kimber 4TC (using only three strands-approximately 15-16ga.) and the resulting sound was much better to my ears. I used KimberKable 4 TC from my int. amp
to my speakers. It is amazing how so many variables affect
sound quality! In my experience, bare wire connections pro-
vide the best sound. Be sure to document all work just in case...and allow time to settle in.

Sol322, i have a pretty good idea of how to solder and would venture to say that i've performed well in excess of 100,000 solder joints in the last few years. Even with all of the past experience that i have and trying to "clean and prep" the surface, i could not get silver bearing solder to bond some joints on two mating surfaces. I even went so far as to grind the surface clean and "rough it up" so that the solder could fill in the crevices, applied rosin, used a small propane torch to pre-heat the surface, etc... with no luck. I also watched as two others that are skilled electronics professionals tried to make the same connection with no luck. Maybe it was funky solder, i don't know. Either way, all three of us gave up.
