DK99 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 not only are those not good solder joints you twisted them together completely wrong. have fun stuffing that conglomeration in the dash. Does it look wired wrong? its the fact that the wires are not straight the way you twisted them Quote Hi SMD Members If anybody has computer problems and is an SMD member with at least 150 posts I will fix your problems for free by phone support or I can also fix your computer over the internet....

audio1der Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Although it's not difficult to bend one of each of the wires back so it can be taped (I don't see any shrink) "straight"... Looks like the joints could have used more heat to suck in the solder. Not a lot of people know this unless they've seen it done, or have had electronics training. It's still a better joint than a butt connector, so I suggest an 'A-' for caring enough Edited September 16, 2011 by audio1der Quote Big 3 with 1/0 welding cable, dual runs of 1/0 and 2gua F-R DD 2512 D2 powered by Audioque 1200d at 1ohm, 2.5ft^3 ported to 36Hz Boston SX 6.0 comps powered by Phoenix Gold M50 for front stage Silver Flute 8" midbass in doors powered by Alpine 3539 Alpine CDA-117 HU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluliner Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 This reminds me of a mess I saw a long time ago. Customer brought in their HU for warranty with the vehicle & HU harness still attached. Every single wire was soldered together in what can only be described as a massive lead booger poorly wrapped in what felt like hockey tape. And when I mean every wire I mean every wire was soldered together at one point (gigantic lead sputnik booger). When I inquired why this was wired that way the customer calmly said, and I'm not making this shit up, "the electricity should know where to go and not break the radio." Darwin? Where were you that day? ... Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
