what i would do is scuff the tops off the posts(that you solder the wires to) with a lil sand paper or something so the solder has something to grab onto better then put a little solder blob well not really blob but hopefully u know what i mean, put that on top of the posts then while you put the blob on there put the end of the wire on there as well ( make sure the wire is pre-tinned and not all messy) then while the wire is on there jus put a lil more solder on there (not to much though as you dont want to make a mess) around the wire and the tab to make sure there is a solid connection but make sure and read the manual to see how long they recommend to keep the solder gun on there so u dont fry the components from over heating them hopefully this helps cause this is the way i did it and it worked great
