Malcolm brings up a very good point. All connections should be fitted
with a proper lug which is crimped with a proper tool, depending on wire
size and the terminal to which it will be attached, AND all terminals
should be soldered. I make no exceptions to this practice. The
crimp connection is a mechanical connection, the soldering is the
electrical connection.
One additional point I've found to be most beneficial is to run a
dedicated ground wire between the ground terminal on the radio to the
ground terminal on the power supply. I do not rely on the DC negative
to serve as ground between the radio and power supply.

Hi All
As a matter of standard practice all my crimp contact junctions are soldered as
well as being crimped using a good quality tool.
I hope this note provides adequate guidance.
