Ok, so I was mulling around a car audio website the other night and I saw this little thingies that basically acts as a terminal strip for speaker wire.

It can take 8 wires, 4 on each side. Anyone know what I am talking about?

I am going to be using these for the (+) and (-) leads that I will have wired to buttons controlling my LEDs...this should clean everything up nicely.

Yep, but I spend every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday night working on my projects and the majority of my Saturdays. All other nights/days are spent with the missus.

That's what it seems like, man...I spend almost every free moment thinking and planning how I am going to cram everything in. It's all good, though...because I am doing EVERYTHING possible to my interior in one fell swoop, and I will never have to worry about ever imporving anything inside again.

We have these things at my job. They're used for complex wiring jobs like connecteing multiple capacitors, resistors, diodes etc. It makes it easier to upgrade/change equipment. I didn't think a car audio could be so complicated.

What website is this anyway?

IIRC they're called barrier strips and you should be able to pick them up at your local Radio Shack.
