Yeat I remember when we had the monster cable 4 Guage cable at 115 it was impossible to solder with a iron. The crimp was'nt good enough. We figured a butane torch would be the best and it wourked out. Hahah i can just image use a propane torch that would just burn the cable ends. Try a small torch you can get at home depot or online.
