    It's called splicing,splice the wires together,I think is what he is talking about doing...strip the wires and match the colors up,twist them together and elec tape them up.

    am I right? Is this what he is referring to ?

    While splicing technically could be used it really isn't the best method for doing this.

    What most people do is "daisy-chain" the individual strips together in either a serial or parallel configuration.

    So it's possible to wire a bunch of individual pieces into one long one? Not sure what the term "daisy chaining" is.

    I've seen it referred to as wiring them in parallel. Where the starting point has wires coming off of it, then the next one has wires going to it and come off of it, and at some point there is a male end leading to the regulator.
