If you do the splice right, it's stronger than the wire itself.
It's from back in the Telegraph days, hence the name "Lineman's Splice" or "Western Union Splice" it's for wires that have weight load on them, hanging on a pole.

Ok guys, i am about to go mad. So my stereo is still doing it, its losing power for a second then coming right back on to same track or station and same volume. Replaced head unit, and second wiring harness where everything is soldered this time. my question is this i have got my ground from the stereo that i am soldering into the aftermarket harness which in turn is to stock stereo harness. should i take the ground from stereo and ground it out or leave it hooked on to the ground through harness? the only wires that i have left that are not soldered are an orange wire, blue and white wire from harness, and a blue/black wire that was hooked seperately onto the back of stock harness. any help please guys.

The easiest way to do this is to put the stock stereo back in. Does it still have the same problem?
Orange from the stereo harness is for lighting. Not necessary, cap it off.
Blue from the stereo harness is for power antenna or amplifier cut on. Not necessary, cap it off.

Stock stereo works perfectly. Ok and what do you know about the black and blue wire that was connected to back of stock stereo? Also should I take ground from stereo harness and physically ground it or leave it soldered to ground on aftetmarket harness?

The single wire that was physically connected to the metal of the stock stereo is your Ground wire.
Connect the Black wire of your new stereo harness to that wire that used to be connected to the metal on the back of your stock stereo.
Theoretically, your stereo shouldn't work without this connected, however you may be getting a stray ground from the antenna coax. (The antenna connector has a shell and a pin. The pin is for the antenna, the shell is ground.)
In fact, try this:
Before you do ANYTHING, go out to your truck and pull the stereo out of the dash.
Remove the antenna plug and put it away so that it can't touch the stereo.
Try and work the stereo.
