A car audio tech recommended for me to get my system rewired. Am I getting scammed? Or should I go for it?

[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8840270, member: 654802"] TBH, I have never seen an amp install without the main fuse by the battery. But then again... I just looked up the amp and it does have the pinout printed on the amp. The installer used blue/black and red/black as front channels, then used the other red/black as sub channel. I would have used blue/black as sub channel for easy identification. My main point is that using electrical tape for an install is common practice and not a danger to where one would need to rip it all out to redo it "professionally". As for the bare power cables, that happens when the amp moves around. You could wire it in nice and snug with no skin showing but when you move the amp around it will push the sheath back even if you use ferrules. We have been in this hobby long enough to know that alot of shops prey on those who do not know the hobby. My guess is they saw an easy target and gave him the scorched earth spiel. [/QUOTE]
