Wiring and connectors...

[eddiev9]

Does anyone know the AWG on the wiring that attaches the HU?
I'm trying to crimp on connectors to the battery and accessory wires without stripping or soldering. What are those called and where can I find them?

Thanks!

Why not use an add-a-circuit instead? This is what it looks like http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=071-580.

Looks like 20 gauge wire to me, I was just poking around in there a couple days ago.

How would that work? Is there one slot for the battery and one for the accessory in the fuse panel?

Plugs into an existing fuse receptacle and gives you a fused pigtail (red wire) while still protecting your original circuit. Make sure to run another cable from the new circuit to a ground somewhere (there's usually a grounding screw near the battery in the engine compartment.)

Yes, in the fuse panel (driver side door), some of the fuses are always on (battery), and only when the key is in the on position (accessory). Basically, you remove the existing fuse and slide that device into its place.
