I just recieved my D3 today and I would like to get the pioneer and vehicle wiring harnesses hooked together. I am just wondering what most people prefer. I've done both and have had luck with both. I am just a little nervous that if I crimp them I might have a problem with them maybe coming loose after awhile.

 

Thanks

I solder mine and put some heatshrink around it. Feels a little safer than crimping, though soldering was a pain in the butt.

Don't crimp.

 

Solder only. Then heat shrink.

 

If you must use electrical tape, get a tube of silicon and put a tiny bit over the tape to keep it from falling off.

Or use 3m super 33+ or super 88. I've NEVER had that stuff come off.

I guess I should stop being so cheap and buy the good stuff.

I have never had solder and heat shrink come off.

And it ain't cheap either at $4 a roll, that adds up quick.

x100 I seen so many crimps come off before and fry radio's and blow fuses. I rather twist lock then to use crimps and caps.
