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.

Well, a good temp controlled iron with broad tip will work too. Also tin the wire first.

For a wire that large it is easiest to use a solder pot. Then follow instructions as above! Insert wire, heat joint, add solder to junction.
