Building Speaker Cables


I have decided to build my own cables. For the cable I’ve chosen DH Labs T-14 cable for the cable connectors on the speaker side will be Furutech FP-201 (G) spade connectors, amp side will be Furutech FP-200b (G) banana plug connectors. Would it be overkill to silver solder all the terminals before sealing the connections with marine grade shrink tubing?

I will assemble my cables sans solder and seal with the marine grade shrink tube. Thanks for all the input. 

My thought process is that the T-14 cable is silver coated copper and the silver would be  prone to tarnishing otherwise I would directly wire into the Amp 10.
