Plus I'm getting a good deal on a nice JVC deck

If you can see electrical tape it wasn't a good install.

Well aside from soldering it, I think electrical tape works fine. Soldering it is much more messy and takes longer.... pluse if you need to upgrade... its much more of a hassle

you are joking right ? like please don't say you don't have those connections soldered and just electrical taped together , that makes me sad .

seriously get 8 " of shrink tube some rosin core solder a soldering gun and some flux . that is the laziest thing i have ever herd in my life .

if you haven't figured it out yet electrical tape with no solder does not work fine its a shitty connection . anyone that has ever put two wires together should know this .

i can solder in a stereo harness in 5 minutes with a good gun , and not have a drop fall . if your worried throw a shallow card board box below were your working .
