Looks like a good start for a simple system. Price seems a bit dear. And I am not a fan of screw connectionson cars.

I see it more as a aux  type of box.  or a box for a T-bucket car...

it is pricey , seems very well built.

Did any of you link to the posilock site from this one ? I don't know a lot about wiring but that system looks pretty interesting to me. Opinions please?

Well, I'll tell you. Automotive wiring is for the most part multi strand wire. Those type of connections were designed for solid wire. With multi strand wire, they can "relax" and become loose, causing a high resistance. This can be reduced bu soldering the end of the wire before inserting it into the lug, but most people don't do it.

They are very expensive if you are doing a whole car with them. they are also bulky if you have to do multiple connections. I have used them, seem to hold up ok.

I also do not like spliced wires, and do all I can to avoid them on a wiring job. If I do have to splice, I use unisulated butt connectors, crimped, ans shrink tube over the splice. done right, you won't even notice it.
