Ok, here's the deal. i have a good friend who is putting together a syystem for his lincoln town car. we also have another friend who is going to do the install for him. the install friend is just ****ing awesome at fabrication, fiberglass, and installs. The problem is that he insists on telling our friend who is getting the install that he needs all of this stuff that is totally unnecessary. Example: he insists that he needs three batteries and a couple caps, as well as the isloators and various wiring to go with it all. now the guy buying the equipment is on a budget but totally believes everything our other friend is saying. Another thing is that our installer friend is in the process of getting his wholesalers license and has my other friend believing that he is gonna be able to buy shyt like W7's for like 50-60 bucks. I made the suggestion of upgrading the alternator and the stock wiring but was immediately shot down as not knowing what i'm talking about. this same installer friend was going to do all my install for free but now he insists that if he does the install to promote himself, that i have to accept his install techniques and not change anything, so i told him to forget about my car because i know the real truth when it comes to the electrical, but my other friend is now about to be jacked. How can i let this happen knowing that my dude is gonna be disappointed and out alot of money that he really can't afford to spend?

tried that--i even printed off the richard clark article on the uselessness of capacitors. he seems to think our install friend is god when it comes to this stuff. i think my only other option is to finish up my system and own our other friend.

theres no way you can pick up a w7 for 50 bucks, even if you are a dealer

well if he's unwilling to educate himself......well...sounds like he's doomed to be used and abused by those that will rip him off.....

Stop caring about him. If he is to pig headed to listen to reason, let him dig his own grave...

i don't think so...he's an independant here in lima. but even i will admit, his installs are flawless.(except for the extra b.s. and stock electricals)
