    Also I think the posi taps from Crutchfield are solid and I used them for my remote turn ons to amps. They’re hella expensive though. I’m not a fan personally of using them behind head unit bc everything gets so twisted up and bunched. They work but not to my liking

    Well yeah, it’s common in car stereo installation. Twist lock connectors like the one I linked back in 2016. It was perfectly functional but I didn’t like them for they took up too much room, so I just soldered it.
