CAIG

packages some chemicals for just this purpose. Cold weld, i.e. high pressure crimp is the way to go and even some of those can benefit from a de-ox type chemical. I know big electron terminations for like 500-750mcm wire, the crimp lugs come with de-ox compound in the lug or you can squirt it in. I've never worried about crimping copper in a lug with gold plating. That's my preferred method. Set screw speaker terminations have lots of drawbacks. The connection you are talking about would benefit from some CAIG product.
