Ok so I dont know if this is on here or not ( I assume it is but I couldn't find it ) but I wanna hear some funny or stupid things that you all have seen for installs, aka the getto installs or the " I cant believe that hasn't blown up installs" ...
heres one I had to deal with personally,
A guy comes over to me one day say's that his amp keeps shutting off. I was in high school at the time, So I told him I'd take a look at it after class. He had always been that guy who brags about the crap he has... Then when you see it its just that CRAP. Well he was saying how he got this great system and he wasn't sure why but when he would turn it up sometimes the amp would just shut off. Well he told me what amp he had... it was the 1200 watt sony xplode amp and 2 15 inch sony explode subs... he had it stuffed into the back of a pt crusier in a prefab box. well I get to the car and he said wait and wanted to show it off first. So I sat a few cars down and listened to see how loud he claimed it to be... Not bad but the car was ratteling to make the bass not the subs. So all of the sudden he start freaking out. I run up and he is taking his shirt off and running to the back of the car. He rips open the hatch and starts beating flames out. He had put a battery in the back of the car and used an amp kit to run the wires from the front to the back. well minus the Neg. wire and had used a coat hanger *( one of the copper coat hangers ) and used that to go from the pos side of the batt to his amp. The funny thing beside the coat hanger was he was using a lawn mower battery. like a 6 volt or 8 volt battery. It during his massive bass had some how rattled loose and had shorted out to the frame. He had riped out the carpet in the back and had screwed the amp to the floor of the car. the wire had touched part of the amp and shorted out. it got hot enough that it burnt the prefab box and caught the carpet and glue on fire. destroyed the whole system. Later that month I ended up building him a system from ground up lol. He never made that mistake again. Came close to losing his entire car.
Sry for the long post but lots of details. Thought I'd share. any one else got some funnies they'd like to share???? 8)
