What do i need to connect two wires (ie. to make longer)

[timbo]

Hi all

I'm rewiring an arcade cabinet and need to join wires to make them into
one - what am I looking for that will join them quickly and neatly in the
middle?

Many thanks
tim.

Inline crimps, solder with heatshrink ?

Just twist them together. Like my car stereo fitter did.

Not vey smart just twisting them together,besides being a far from
professional job the oils and acids in your fingers will over time oxidise
the wires causing all sorts of hassles.
Best way is to solder them and then place heatshrink over each one
