snap n seal connectors

I'll be honest, in my setup, I have absolutely _no_ fittings/connectors on the ends of my wires, except for up at the battery. It sort of bothers me, but regular crimping just doesn't seem strong enough to me...

Are there snap n seal connectors for power wire, as well as speaker wire? I use these all the time at work for cable (I'm a cable service tech), and they are extremely reliable and well designed.

Those are only for coax cable. They use ring that has a ridge at the back of it. When that ridge is forced into the sleeve, it pushes the inside of the ring down, into the jacket and pretty much seals it there.

Any of these kinds of connectors around for audio wiring? Thanks.

Well you have the scotch locks. Butt connectors are ok. I usually just solder the wires together and put some shrink tube over them. The last one i did in my truck since i usually remove the HU frequently, i used insulated quick connects.

those crimp connectors suck, at least for me. I can never seem to get them tight. From now I only use solder and heat shrink tubing. Have you tried molex stuff ? only problem is, you really need the (expensive crimpers) to do it right.

I usually dont use connectors at all, nothing beats solder and some shrink tube. But i needed something that i could remove if needed so i twas more plug and play. I had to crimp them in about 4 spots, and i used a bench vise with some jaws i made to make sure they werent coming loose.

i used the butt to butt ones for my hu and i tryed the crimp for the banana plugs but it could not hold the wire in so i used the set screw kind. so i think it depends on where you use it that makes the most differents
