Speaker adaptors

[Tubster]

Think some peeps were asking about speaker adaptors. Could these be the fellas to stop you having to get the soldering iron out?

if these will connect the front speakers what do you use for the rears? or do you still have to get the soldering iron out

dont need to bother with them or solder, a krimping set will do it no problems

 

[Middo]

ive never bothered soldering before, have just krimped them. but i always thought that was a bodge way of doing it, even though i never had any problems.

Ive used those adaptors and theyre fine for the front or rear. Crimping them is a waste of time and effort when these do it in seconds.

strip wire - 10 seconds, pick up connector - 5 seconds, krimp - 5 seconds = 20 seconds to krimp a connection

find the website - 5 minutes, order the one you want - 1 minute, wait for the post - 24 hours?, plug it in - 5 seconds = 24 hours, 6 minutes, 5 seconds to do it with them

the main reason i use krimping a lot, is that its easy to find bad connections, with a connector block you sometimes get a lot of dodgy connections and have to wiggle a bunch of wires before the car will start (not normally many faults on stereo ones though so id probably use the clip)

Youre assuming I have a crimping tool. I could order one off the web ;-)

I dont use them cos you get a poor connection. Its a bodgers tool.

Looks like Autoconnect will price match though.
