[QUOTE="pman44, post: 5032458, member: 596223"] ****, I feel you. I would have been frustrated as well. This past summer I told my buddy that I would install his new equipment. Basic work, amp with a pair of subs. We worked in his driveway instead of the garage because it was a beautiful day. Big mistake. After about 10 minutes in, there was literally an entourage standing by his car just watching me install the stuff, watching EVERY move. I don't mind, they would ask "what does that do? Where does that go?" and I would explain briefly the concepts of it. One of my other friends who also does car audio insisted to expedite the process. So, he asked if he could run and wire the power from the battery. I said "No problem", because he did his car a month or two earlier so I assumed he knew what he was doing. While I was running the RCA's from the HU and up along the side under the kicks I hear him say "Oh sh*t!" So I go around to the trunk and he said "Uhhh, I'm about a foot short on power wire" He cut the power wire a good 16" short of where I mounted the amp (In this hideaway in the car). I was like what do I do now? Because we didn't have enough power wire to redo it, and I was leaving for vacation that very night, so I wanted to have my buddy have his car with the install done before I left. We ended up running to the local hardware store to buy power wire just to hold off until we ordered some from KnuKonceptz.
