Heretic.

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.

Really?

I've actually seen very few crimp connections come loose. For the record though, I would rather solder a connection, but not so much on a wire soaked in fuel. I'm also not much on doing it up under a dash or something where the solder could fall down on my and burn my retinas or something. Everything else, solder the fuck out of it.
