What kind of solder comes in the package? I need to solder some speaker wire to car audio speakers.

It comes with a small amount of lead free solder. See the picture of the iron, the solder is the coiled up in the middle.

The solder provided with this soldering iron is the lead free variety. It's OK but I prefer Rosin core 60/40 Alloy. It's stronger and solders easier which makes for a better electrical connection.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

No, I am using the stock speaker wire. However, I do plan to replace it soon as it is quite small. It works fine but tends to easily get pulled out of the spring clips on the speaker if tugged slightly. I plan to use a couple of gauges heavier wire.

No, Question for you. Did you use all 20ish feet of wire that shipped with the speakers, If so, that is most likely your problem, use as short of wire are possible to reduce the chances of electrical signals feeding into the speaker wire. I took that wiring and threw it in the garbage, grabbed some slightly thicker wire cut it to about 5 inches for signal and ground then soldered the crap out of everything and covered it with shrink wrap. I also reused the OEM connectors.

Speaker wire will fit. With the RCA plugs it will NOT fit. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Standard speaker wire connections. Very simple. If you go to Infinity's website and look up the model it will probably have photos and or diagrams with all the details.

I'm not understanding your question. What would you like to know? If you mean, that you need a RCA plug that converts to speaker wire, you will just have to find a cord that can do that. Like this: Microsound - 10 Feet 16 AWG Speaker Wire with RCA Male Plug on one end

Speaker wire is not included. I used Monster XPMS 50 speaker wire (50 feet). 16 AWG. Sweeeet! Cut it to the desired length and stripped back about an inch of wire to connect both ways. Is it live or is it Monster? What? I can't hear you!

I do no remember it coming with solder but Radio Shack has rosin core solder and soldering irons. Use a 25-30 watt iron and small diameter solder and you should be o.k.

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

Wire nuts should be all you need. Soldering is a better connection, but don't solder them right at the board. You may cause damage to the board or cause the preattached wires to become loose at the board.

Never buy anything boss any car audio installer will tell you not to. I ran 4 gauge wire paid $60 and was able to upgrade to 2 12"s later without switching wires

Depending on the application, you can either solder or crimp the wires. I chose to solder. The only tool really required was a small needle nose pliers.

The kit does not come with solder. 60/40 is the best to use on a kit like that. Get it on line, Radio Shack does notstock it!

Only speaker wire. It is not very long and not an adequate length. The gage in my opinion is too thin. There are no audio cables.

i just made my own out of an 12v old speaker power cord. I had to do a little soldering but it worked out good

Speaker wire and mounting brackets sold separately. Look up "speaker wire" on wikipedia.org for proper sizing. Match up resistance and max wire length to get wire size.
