I edited because I was thinking butt plugs when you were saying crimp caps (and now I realize their simliar in function), then I googled crimp caps, and they reminded me of what are called wire nuts. Sorry for my terms being off, and my confusion.

I have been using the pole connector for over 4 years now, and over 50k miles of driving on some of the worst roads I have ever seen, I have not had any screws back out, I have also not had any wires come loose, or pull out unless I specifically pulled it out (during wiring). Your asking about real-estate behind the deck and rca's? You should see mine (theres 8 rca plugs), as I have a graphic equalizer along with my deck, and I don't have any space issues in my cb7. Oh about the two screws part per connection part, the wire on each side was stripped and long enough to be tightened down by both screws/plates (like a vice).

I'm not saying either is better then the other, they all do the same function, but in a different way, some people like vanilla, some people like chocolate, some people like sherbert.

EDIT: I also frequently edit my post afterwards because I am fixing typo's, and or adding more information / expanding my posts to be more specific, that doesn't always get said at first... like this.

dually noted....we shall agree to disagree on this one, lol

When I wired up my deck I used a 12 pole connector that I got from radioshack:

This is cool. I have used these in engineering classes, but never thought to use them on my stereo.

Clousasc, I also have a graphic EQ installed along with my HU. Mine is just sitting in there under the deck with thermal insulation between them. How did you mount yours?

I forget what I put (if anything) between the eq and the deck, the eq I have is a half din, and isn't nearly as deep as the deck I'm using. Its a Sony XE90MKII that I've had since 2001.
