If the install was 4-5 years ago, I think its a little late to go and complain.

WOW thats insane that they would do that. I thought it was ghetto when I used a conduit bolt and a ton of splicing compound to connect 4 8awg in with a 8awg and 4aw out once.

I agree if its been that long then not much you can do about it, unless maybe you can prove it 100% that they did it and such which will be really hard.

Looking forward to the rest of the build and clean up. Should come out pretty sweet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ya I doubt ill say anything, ill just do my best to show the world their type of work and try to lose them as much business as I can. I really am so embarassed I paid for this garbage. Im kinda hoping there place burns down, or just something negative haha! Kidding, but in all honesty it sucks!

Yeah they should have deffintley used a distro block there and one more screw to keep it from twisting.

The speaker wires are fine IMHO.

I have been screwed out of 500 dollars before on an install because I physically couldn't do it.

Well back in some shape now and refuse to ever let a shope screw me again.

even if it was 5 years ago, they will have your install on file if they are any kind of decent shop.

I'd go back and tell them you were pulling it out and found that stuff, and you paid for a top notch install. At least raise some level of hell with them and show them the pics you have.

If the owner isn't there, ask for him or his phone number or when he'll be back. If I was the owner I'd want to know if my installers were making mistakes like the tape with the wire, thats bs

Your truck is a 2005. This is mid 2008. How is the install 5 years old?

Its a 2004 that I bought in late december of 03, the install was early 04, I said 4-5 years I thought?

Wow..just horrible. I'm sorry about that man, i hope you can throw some shit fit and maybe get some of your money. You guys gotta remember that he got a discount cause he paid in cash...probably means they didn't write down a single thing.

Makes sense. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Good luck fixing all that mess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

That sucks. I'd raise hell, but it seems too late to do that.

And they most likely have no file of the job because you paid cash.

 

[Black Truck 10 10+ year member]

I that is what I was thinking about them not having information on my install. I would probably end up making a fool of myself. Ill look around salvage yards since that plastic piece cant be all that popular.

I have learned my lesson though, which I guess is what life is about. (wow, sounds kinda deep)

Print the pics, put them on a big poster that says "Example of their TOP NOTCH Installs" and go put it in front the biz, lmao. I have personally seen that done before...funny as hell.

haha with my luck ill get sued for slander or liable or something. I contemplate putting up a website though, but fear it do to the being sued aspect.
