When I need to join two wire ends together, I usually use a butt-connector (restrain yourself linc):

I remove the plastic covering, tin each end, tin the wires, and heat up the connector and wire and it will slide right in. Once cooled, heatshrink the join. If done right, the join looks pretty seamless because the connector wall thickness is just a little thicker than the wire insulation so only a slight bump is visible.

Good tip, I may try that on the next hacker c50 I install. I have taken to direct soldering the wires that are included with the MMM and just plugging them into the MMM, one less connection to worry about.

WORD! i like the sound of that, stronger mechanicly and more surface area to conduct! why didnt i think of that

I have also used female 3.5mm and 4mm connectors. Just slip one wire in where it goes and use the socket for the other wire, on the 4mm, you can cut them down so they are shorter. Works the same ass the the butt connector, only gold plated.
