I would never crimp a cable that size. Here is how I solder cables like that easily.
Measure the "cup" you are sticking the cable into and strip the cable about 1/8" shorter. Tin the cable with solder like you normally would.
If using welder cable, you really have to be precise to get a good tin of solder all the way through the fine cooper strands.
Take the terminal you are attaching it to and put it in a vice with the solder cup portion facing up. Heat up the cup up and fill about 1/2 of solder. Now while keeping the cup melted start heating up the already tinned cable. Once they are both at the point of the solder being liquefied, push the cable all the way into the cup. Hold the cable steady as possible while it cools.
I like to use heatshrink around the connection as well. Not the normal crappy heat shrink, but the good thick gel coated heatshrink. (if you have a hard time finding the good heatshrink, look for low voltage outdoor lighting cabling)
