[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8521129, member: 661255"] I just help friends and don't ask for payment. You'll have to charge a decent amount to actually make money. If you mess someone's car up, you'll have to pay to get it fixed. There was someone on here who got a new headunit installed by a shop in their Honda, and it messed something up. The shop had to pay to get it fixed, and they lost money on the job. Also, if you mess something up, word of mouth will travel and you'll lose business. I wouldn't want to do installs for people who have no fu[COLOR=black]c[/COLOR]king clue about audio. They're going to crank it as loud as it'll go and break stuff either due to low voltage or clipping. They might even mess with headunit settings or amp dials to turn gain or "bass boost" on/up. Then they'll blame the install. I wouldn't want to have to deal with warranty on any user-error problems. The consumer is going to be convinced that it wasn't their fault. Point being, I wouldn't help someone unless I know them well. [/QUOTE]
