Tips on soldering Deltron Banan plugs

Hey,

I've tried soldering Deltron banana plugs to Mogami W3103 (12awg) but failed miserably.
Anyone have experience with these or similar plugs ?

I'm used to soldering RCA plugs where I put a blob on the connector that I reheat and connect the wire to.
On the Deltron plugs, there is no room to put the solder iron once the speaker wire is inserted.

Also, do you tin the speaker wire entirely, or just the tip?

Thanks in advance.

1st,
quit wasting time soldering these banana plugs. Their terminals are for crimping and there's a screw to lock the wire. If you have proper gauge crimping tool, don't bother soldering, because crimping gives you more genuine contact than soldering.
