Liquid Audio Light Bar (negative)

I purcahsed a light bar from Liquid Audio a couple years back on ebay and just removed it to have the bar itself powdercoated. While taking it apart I noticed the positive and negative wires starting to melt together. They had most of the wire connections connected with electrical tape. Some were actually conneceted with water tight butt connectors. Not sure why they would do all of them like that. I sent them an email last week and they have not responded as of right now. That is why I am posting this for others to be aware. I will post pictures in a few.
