+CarPhonix CarAudio neither did you!!! Here's the technical rules for a linemans splice (western union) [The Western Union or Lineman splice was developed during the introduction of the telegraph to mechanically and electrically connect wires that were subject to loading stress. The wrapping pattern is designed to cause the termination to tighten as the conductors pull against each other. This type of splice is more suited to solid, rather than stranded conductors, and is fairly difficult to complete.[1] The Western Union Splice is made by twisting two ends of a wire together counterclockwise 3/4 of a turn each, finger tight. Then, using needle-nose pliers, the ends are twisted at least five more turns, tightly. The cut off ends are pushed close to the center wire. ] (from Wikipedia) I counted your twists.... you didn't twist at least five more turns per side with needle nose pliers... 😌😝😝 And you didn't perform 3/4 of a turn each.

Wayne Sahlbach Jr Then there'd be a month in between the 1st and 2nd videos. He'd hook it up to the amp dyno to show he has less distortion than everyone else. And then play the same old Psyph Morrison songs on it to prove it can play music on his test bench.

My idea for the dash kit is to have a recessed place for a head unit to fit behind the iPad and give access to the head unit with the iPad out of the docking station. just sure in a usb plug to the radio accessory and a ground of your choosing.

Did you see the kiwi 🥝 call out your soldering? He said they were like hurricanes only smaller and that they would eventually corrode. My guess is the owner would swap out the head unit long before they corroded to the point of failure. Hell it might outlast some head units. He did the harness in 10:21 btw.
