[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16785297, member: 131874"] I get it and I'm sorry I was so harsh. But, this is a space I worked in as a custom manufacturer for ten years back in the 1980's. R&R tours, live to TV broadcasts, etc. If you're over about 50 on this forum, you've probably seen my stuff in action. The only thing you didn't do in your beautiful wiring layout was wire lengths. In the real world of live-to-audience, live-to-TV, etc, when it's 20 minutes to show time and a connector is giving you trouble, you don't have time to undo the wiring harness and install a new wire. The internal wires have to be long enough - all of them - that you can cut any connector clean off at the strain relief and install a new connector and still have enough slack in the wire that the new connector will plug in without strain or tension. You're almost there. Doing this isn't hard, but it's not obvious either. You have to route each wire past its connection point by maybe 3 or 4 inches and then double back to the actual termination. Lock it down with tie-wraps and you're done. Something goes wrong - a hum from a loose connection, for instance - five minutes with a fresh connector, a pair of diagonal cutters, a razor blade and a soldering iron and all's well. For your purposes it's probably fine. But when minutes are really, really expensive, it's a different world. [/QUOTE]
