Woah, I would never use crimps in a vehicle, due to the vibration they seem to always fall apart, or I could just suck at crimping. A good solder and heat shrink should never fall apart and cant loosen up over time.
Whenever we would get cars in with crimp jobs it was always such a pain in the ass because it had all fallen apart and gotten tangled and was just a mess. Bad solder jobs are even worse. But ive seen a few cars with professional installation with good solder jobs and when I pulled the head units out, all the connections were still rock solid.
Ive run into this argument a lot of times, I guess its like wether people like convertibles or coupes.
