Lets face it,

We all understand that soldering is the best most economical way of making proper joints. It may take a little longer to disconnect (2 minutes more that disconnecting a T-tap. I heard a guy say just wrap the wire and tape it. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!!!!! If you want intermitting connections and possible fires. Granted alot of shops use T-taps to save time. And yes I will agree that it does. All Remote systems, audio, ect that I do I solder. Now once again this is my personal preference. This is not intened to put down anybody or to offend anybody. It gives me peace of mind that it is done once and it is done right. I dont have to worry about my customers hitting a pothole and having an intermitent connection or something along those terms or coming back to the shop because something i'sent working. In my experance I have had customers come to me with problems they have, and I have seen it all, from T-taps, loops, twists, pretzels, ect. I have even seen a "shop" tie wrap the wires together and forget about the tape, solder, and taps they figure the wire tie is good enough to hold a joint and insulate. So there are alot worse out there than "T-taps"
