I recently did this on my 1.6's. I used new wire from Welborne and pulled the slip on spade type things off the plate they connect to and ran my new wire straight from the caps to the plate. I unscrewed the little pressure plate and sandwiched my new wire to the driver wires underneath the pressure plate and locked it back down with the screw, so I had wire to wire contact. However, Peter Gunn is right that you DEFINITELY don't want to solder there. The wires from the panels are extremely delicate and fragile and can be burned through or broken very easily, the bass panel wires moreso than the tweeter ribbons. The major risk that I would see is the heat from your iron zooming up that foil tweeter and doing God knows what by the time it reached the end of it.
