Suspected cause
Jaycar is probably a convenient place to go as they have a good range and keen pricing for the crimper I suspect you need.
Leading evidence: 'convenient place' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'convenient place' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run of-the-mill speaker wiring/audio and similar gauge caper' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Any ideas for your more run-of-the-mill speaker wiring/audio and similar gauge caper?

Possibly one of those Blaupunkt Bremen re-issues, but I'm loathed to pay the premium for a DAB function that I can't use in the regional areas I'll use the car in.

Once you figure out what connectors you will be using, I found eBay good for bulk packs.

For best results use the tool jaws specifically designed for the terminal as these will not only do the crimp but also the strain relief at the same time including any sealing plugs.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Team,
Just wondering whether anybody has any recommendations on a quality wire crimper for automotive use? My new-to-me 3.2 is going to require some tidying up of wiring, and I've been meaning to upgrade for ages. Any ideas for your more run-of-the-mill speaker wiring/audio and similar gauge caper?
Angus
This will be a good thread to follow.. I just bought one for myself (soon to attempt my first full ecu wiring)... and with all the wire sizes, terminals, etc it's a bit of a minefield (to me).
I picked up one of these...

You will get what you pay for. No one tool will cover it all. Best tools are parallel closing and have interchangeable jaws. For best results use the tool jaws specifically designed for the terminal as these will not only do the crimp but also the strain relief at the same time including any sealing plugs.
For audio wiring it may just depend on what AWG you will be using.
Generally audio is less critical but if your a fanatic with an audiophile ear , don’t fret.
If you are an audiophile , everything from the copper purity to gauge will be important.
Angus,
You really need to specifically identify what connectors and wire size you want to crimp first. Once you've done that, the rest is easy.
Jaycar is probably a convenient place to go as they have a good range and keen pricing for the crimper I suspect you need. The tech nerds also tend to know their stuff too unlike most shop assistants.
Once you figure out what connectors you will be using, I found eBay good for bulk packs.
Don't forget some wire strippers while you are at it.
Hi all, valuable insight indeed (as expected), thanks a lot.
Oh, I'm certainly audio-interested outside the 3.2, but am sensible enough to avoid pursuing anything phile-like in this car. I'll be satisfied with decent bluetooth and something vaguely sympathetic to the car's era (not the outdated Alpine unit currently in residence). Possibly one of those Blaupunkt Bremen re-issues, but I'm loathed to pay the premium for a DAB function that I can't use in the regional areas I'll use the car in.
Have a good look at the Continental units - here
