I've had enough of blackened molex power connectors because the connectors are too small/thin. Very soon, the conectors are gonna burn through the molex plastic. And that makes the pelts wires burn hotter too. I'm not gonna wait for that to happen ;)
Any recommendations of a good and secure way of connecting the power cables to the pelts? The screw-in connectors? Or anything that won't become charcoal black after some usage? Preferably one that I do not have to remove the pelt from my block.

I used heavy duty five way binding posts and spade lugs.

Something like this (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F005%5F003%5F003%5F000&product%5Fid=910%2D5663) but heavier duty.

Thanks man. I'll be sure to look for something like that when I go shopping. Is it easy to connect them/disconnect them?

Yep, you just tighten the binding post nut on the spade lug. Dissconnecting is the opposite, just like the terminals on a quality HiFi amp.

I use little grey wire nuts. This seems to work well, and insures a good solid connection.
