Ever hear something, or a combination of somethings that just makes you want to laugh out loud and cry all at once? I just had one of those moments....

Well this just in from Best Buy:

18 gauge cable is the biggest speaker wire you can get into a speaker terminal. (he pointed to the sheathing on the 10ga. cable, to show me that "10 gauge is huge" i didn't bother explaining to him that inserting the sheathing into the terminal wasn't necessary //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

And the kicker:

Regardless of whether you have spade terminals or set-screw terminals on your amplifier, you always need to use a spade connector, and then 'clamp' the spade with the setscrew, because "the ends of the wire will break without the spades"

I couldn't deal with it long enough to get any words of wisdom.

I honestly don't know what to say. I'm speachless. This guy was the head installer, too. If i got my amp back from installation, and there were spades crammed into my set screw terminals, i would go apeshit.

Thats funny. Whoever told you that was stupid. LOL

I used to go in there all the time and they would always tell me that they would sell me something better than kicker.

Like the other day I went in there and they tried to sell me Insignia and tell me it would be way better than my CVRs. And they tried to sell me some RF amp that doesnt put out hardly any power

Ya, a $900 500w rockford amp.

Sell! Sell! Sell!

And not even car audio shops sell alpine type-r's for full retail.
