need help on adapters

All good advice with the exception of using T-taps for connections. I can't tell you how many times I have replaced ones that either failed, or never made connection. Not a solid option, IMHO.

Yep I can not stand t-taps or crimp connectors all soldered and marine grade heat shrunk for me.

Op you can also save yourself some time and grab one of these.

Thanks everyone. I was looking at some of these before but wasn't quite sure which was right.

I agree yes that they are not the greatest to get involved with in regards to installs, however some people just don't have the skills or time for solder and heatshrink. In that case i would reccommend they seek a shop to complete it for them, but if they are in a pinch, Crimp connectors are the next choice IMO. T-taps from Dorman are not good at all, however the screw in type are not horrible.

Thanks for the clarification.

Solder maybe but wrapping wires in heat shrink is easy to do in place of tape or crimps.
