[QUOTE="McIntosh, post: 5802217, member: 605496"] Agreed. Wire nuts aren't really designed for vibration/movement. They will work if you can't solder. If you must use them, tape them well with REAL electrical tape (like Scotch 33+, not cheap chinese crap) and you'll likely be fine. Real tape is also a suitable substitution for heat shrink when soldering. STAY AWAY from "jap wrap" (cheapo electrical tape) if you actually want it to stay put. 33+ will outlive you, jap wrap will start to fall off in a matter of days. [/QUOTE]
