Okay, here's my two cents...DONT tape your wires together...In a year when you upgrade it will be a mess. Either solder and heat shrink each connection or use crimp connections. Soldering's easy, radioshack has kits with a little bit of fine solder and an iron and some accessories for about 7 dollars, buy some heat shrink, the red kind.. strip each wire back about half an inch, slide 1 inch sections of heat shrink onto one of each colored pair of wires (so you wont forget) then twist a pair of matching wires together. Heat them with the tip of your soldering iron until you can touch the solder to the wire and it will melt in. Melt in enough solder to hold the wires together firmly. Let cool and slide heat shrink over the soldered wires, a lighter or heat gun will shrink it (duh, it's not called cold shrink). Tape or wiretie the entire bundle together after you're done (i prefer wire ties) to make it easier to manage.Just my two canadian pennies, total value. Nada.ast
