[QUOTE="Daddie O, post: 8217301, member: 659271"] What an effing ordeal. Please, anyone watching this thread, DO NOT got to IB Custom in Sacramento. So first they wire the amp and no sound and they tell me I have a bad deck, and Best Buy looks and says no he just wired the remote on the amp to the power antenna on the deck. Then I go back today to have them tune the amp and finish the mounting. After they finish I leave and pick up my wife for lunch. I say "Honey, check out the new sound system." She says, "I don't hear anything coming out of the passenger side speaker." I am half deaf in my right ear so I didn't notice that, so I ask if she is sure. She says well fade the stereo to the front and the balance to right and see. I do so, and find no sound coming out of the right front speaker. So I fade to the left and no sound. When I fade to the rear, I get sound out of my left front. No sound from the left rear no matter how I fade or balance. So I go back to IB Customs, and I am irate but I stay relatively calm. I explain that they wired everything messed up and I have no sound from my front right, and no sound from my rear left, and when I fade to the back I hear my front left. They tell me they will fix it. So after a long wait they tell me I had a bad RCA cable, and they wired a new one in (but they left the old bad wire wired in). So then they tell me there is bad news. They say my front right speaker is bad, or it is disconnected in the door, and they don't want to mess with it since they didn't install the speaker. I tell them the speaker was just installed at Best Buy and was working when I brought it to them. They suggest I go back to Best Buy and have them check if it is still plugged in and if it is then they should replace the bad speaker. I go back to Best Buy and tell the installer that I have no sound coming out of the right front speaker. He says thats odd because it worked yesterday. He checks out the wiring at the amp, and its ok. He checks out the speaker and he can make it pop. So he pulls out the deck, and pulls the wiring harness and says, "Aha! Here is your problem." He shows me a bent pin in the wiring harness. The guys at IB Custom had bent the pin when they put the harness back together. Best Buy installer straightens the pin and plugs the harness back in and voila! Sound from the right speaker. Best Buy installer=Genius. He found the problem right away both times. IB Custom=Idiots that can't install an amp correctly. So I happen to notice a whine coming from the speakers that changes with the rpm of the motor. I ask Best Buy guy about it. He says it could be a couple of things. He says the gain could be turned up too high, and he asks me did IB Custom wire the RCA's on the opposite side of the car from the power wire? I say no, everything is on the left side of the car. He says, "Well that's your problem. It's car audio 101, that you wire RCA's on the opposite side from the power or you will get interference from the power wire." He said if IB Custom had used high quality RCA's instead of mid quality they might've been able to get away with it, but since they didn't, the whine is the result. He suggests I take it back and have them wire the RCA's on the opposite side, AKA the correct way. I am afraid to take it back to IB Custom, they **** donkey balls, and who knows what they will ruin.
