It works just fine to solder. However, if you are using the ends supplied by American Auto they will not fit into the connectors, unless crimped. One could cut the prongs off and solder and I see no reason why it wouldn't work just fine.
I personally like the second crimp onto the insulation. I believe it adds some integrity to the joint by removing some of the load from just the wire.
