Today i took my 2008 lancer to get a sub and head unit installed... So far it works great up until the point where i turn my headlights on ( my sound shuts off but the head unit is still lights up , as soon as i turn my lights off my sound kicks in again.. I also noticed when i dont have my lights on and i put on my headunit on the control panels that display the heating and ac light up when they are not suppose to , only when i turn my lights on should they light up .. So before i go kill the guy when the store opens in the morning anyone got any ideas for me to tell this idiot in the morning ! .. Thanks for the help if anyone can help me here

sounds like this guy shouldn't be installing. i'd take it to someone that knows what he's doing. then send the first person the bill.

[rollerdj 10+ year member]

well, depends on the car, how complex you want yor amp mounted. but 200 for labor, on something that sounds like was installed like ***. thats way to much.
