I agree that soldering is the way to go. I am an electrician and soldering these connectors is more reliable than crimping. You can crimp, but make sure it is with the proper tools and correct parts. You might also use colored heat shrink to ensure a good coverage on the soldered joint. It gives a little more strength to the connection.
