The best way is the same way ring terminals are attached. Crimp/solderable connectors. Crimp first, solder second, then shrink tube it.
We use QuickCable, out of Ontario.
Get a 2/0 crimpable joiner (called "butt splice" - see them at http://www.quickcable.com/12.html ), this allows a little extra room for the solder after it's crimped. Put your shrink tube on first and slide it far as possible, joining cables always leaves uber-hot cables, more so than doing ring terminals. Strip the ends, put in joiner, crimp (twice, once for each cable), then torch and solder that puppy.
Works good.
