I would solder and heat shrink, next would be butt splice and heat shrink.
Butt splice is ok as I do that too and it works fine. Cray is absolutely correct on the best method. Been doing low voltage electrical for may years and solder is the most pure connection for all wiring.
Some will argue that solder becomes brittle and may break, but I've never seen it happen.
I prefer crimps with heat shrink because they're easier. Buy them in bulk on ebay.
some people don't know how to solder.Quote:

if you decide to solder splice, use dual wall heat shrink. it self seals.
i am on a roll tonight.
