	No. Every thing breaks eventualy (entropy etc.) but it won't be from it 'heating up'. As long as the wire you use is of a decent thickness it won't even get warm.
	Keep pushing on, things are gonna get better.

	Solder is probably more reliable, I can imagine spade clips vibrating off before soldering falls apart

	Not exactly on topic, but it relates: When making 300+ amp connections in the car using 0 or 00 gauge wiring, it is suggested to crimp rather than solder (as solder never makes 100% connection) something about air bubbles.... anyway... for speaker wiring, soldering is ideal!! how do you think the speakons/jacks are mounted to the amp main circuit board? Its quite a bit of heat to melt solder, so if its getting that hot... RUN AWAY :) As long as your good at soldering, and there are no 'Dry Connections' you'll be fine mate :)
