Connecting the Harness

How do you all connect the harness to our HU---(it was asked in a thread just the other day. DO you solder? Do you use wire nuts? I use crimp connections (not exactly sure what they are really called) ---that way, it is a little easier to remove the radio and apply it to another harness if I switch it to another vehicle.

I always inner twine the stripped wires and solder. Cover with super 33
3M electrical tape (not the cheap crap), and cable tie the open end of the electrical tape so it can't come undone and any pull force on the wire will go to the cable tie instead of the solder connection.
