best wire connector (crimp)
what is the best wire conductor as far as a crimp...the butt style where it is a single connector one wire on each side and you crimp?? wire caps where you twist together....or the male to female connector each side crimps to one part. this is not for my camaro but i have to reconnect up a factory harness from pick n pull the orginal harness was cut off...and i got the wire harness clips to go to a deck for my daily driver 87 pontiac grand am

If you are looking for all out qaulity, soldering would be the best, but i think when it comes to connections, crimping, etc, as long as they are connected, it will be just fine. i dont think one is better then the other. However, i do prefer the white crimp connectors, kinda look like a small wire nuts, except they dont screw on, you just crimp the wires together... alot of professional audio installers use them for alot of things...

I ordered a kit from crutchfield, im not sure wat the brand of connectors were but the plastic was much softer then the crimp connectors you can buy at walmart so they dont crack.
I really like the nippled shapped connectors as you only have to crimp the connector once...this worked well for applications like the cd player because the wiring is hiddent behind the dash.
If you were running wire and had to hide the wire under a panel or carpet or something similar the butt type connector would have less bulk...
They just work better for different applications, use what you like and what will work for you.
