casemods Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 Anybody use these? I have the entire head unit on these right now, and every time I swapped the deck they came in handy. I use the blue ones (14-16 awg) for just about everything. i suck men dry...email me for details

Uploaded with ImageShack.us I don't have a problem with using those things, but you have to think, you are making three separate connections when there should only be one! I like the handiness of disconnecting stuff.I don't think people should be so quick to hate on them though. There are connectors all throught electrical systems of all types. Most last longer than the services of the system itself. 04 Monochrome LT Chevy Tahoe -A few wires, half a speaker, some watts -All Black 6's -Paint to Match, SS Bumper, Black grills. -HID'ed and LED'ed -A few performance enhancers I have two nice subs for sale, but I am not allowed to help my fellow forum members by offering it to them for a nice price via my signature, sorry
JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 8, 2010 Report Posted December 8, 2010 well they work good if you swap out frequently but it is still better to just solder it. it doesnt take that long and when you swap you can just cut where you soldered and keep on going. but like VOPA said, they will last longer and do the job for as long as you have the system but if your going to run a lot of power then you should solder. 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.

casemods Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Posted December 8, 2010 All of my cables in my system that are 8 gauge or larger are crimped. lol, these are for small wire such as the head unit does anyone know if these would actually have less current flow (don't know the correct term) I mean is there any legit reason not to use these other then preference? They have about 30 pounds of resistance so it would take quite a lot to pull them out. Was also going to use these for my computer wiring since I don't need 8 molex connections and it just takes up space/is messy i suck men dry...email me for details
