Hi guys, is it best to solder or crimp the wires for DIY radio installs? I have a 370Z and will be upgrading to the dnx5120 (got good deal), and changing out the factory mid-range woofers with JLs. Would love to DIM (M=myself), as I think it would bring me closer to the car, but soldering kinda freaks me out a little. Just your thoughts

Small wiring....crimping will do. Its not like you are feeding 3,4,5, or 600 watts through the small wires your dealing with.
