What's the best way to do wiring in cars, say for electronics?
Solder and heat shrink
Crimp
Spade connectors
Twist connectors
Other?

I've got a pile of wires to connect for a new head unit. Building my own connectors is off the table, I think. Soldering I can do.

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably hit them with the western union splice

For headunits etc just use crimps or solder/heat shrink. Anything under the motor which is exposed to the elements you tend to use raychems. Nothing better.
