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?

just a note:

The actual amount of silver in electronics solder varies, with common lead-free alloys like Sn96.5/Ag3.5/Cu0.5 containing about 3.5% silver, while older tin-lead alloys, like 62/36/2, contain approximately 2% silver.

 

Is that enought to make a differance?
