i agree,but we are talking about s.florida,being as i lived in daytona(painting cars) i saw alot of hacked up stereos!

and last night i was slacking(bud light) so i had to play catch-up before it got too late tonite!

Ah yes....... and especially in Miami Dade County. I am SO printing this thread.

so it's thursday, wing...how'd it go?

Wouldn't you know he called me and said he had to go out of town so I have to wait until next Thursday. You guys got him running scared .

bummer!i wanted to hear the verdict.(i guess bummer 4 u 2,u have to listen 2 it)

In the meantime, can you possibly remove the Kickers yourself? From what you've said, it seems that the system was working fine without them, just not quite to your preference.

i was gonna suggest that,but,if i installed a system and somebody complained(unlikely but possible) and took it upon themselves to "fix" it i wouldn't touch it! wing ,just be patient!

give them a chance to make it right.

I only suggested that because it sounds like it's getting worse. I would not suggest playing with the ground wires as that is something which should be done with the installer present. However, if he can hook up a home theater system I do believe he should be more than capable of undoing a set of tweeters and covering the wire ends to prevent a short. This should help the setup from killing itself from the most likely source of trouble. I think he's also more than capable of making the decision of whether or not to do this if the tweeters are installed a bit more complex than I seem to be imagining at the moment. If he can't figure out how to get the thing off the dash and remove the wires, then yeah, leave it alone.

If I installed a system for someone and it had a problem that was getting worse, I would certainly set the guy up with someone who could help asap if I couldn't get to it myself, especially if he had scheduled time to come in.

"If I installed a system for someone and it had a problem that was getting worse, I would certainly set the guy up with someone who could help asap if I couldn't get to it myself, especially if he had scheduled time to come in."

i myself would not have blown him off after scheduling him,if an emergency came up i would have a co-worker take care of him.

not to say anybody is not capable of diconnecting a pair of tweeters,as that is very simple,taking apart the interior of a car(or truck) is another story!

if an installed system has been tampered with after leaving the shop,it is very easy to play the blame game!now the installer has an out,"i didn't do that,you must have !!!!!! it up!"

another thing is "the headlights are causing a buzz"
answer:"aren't you a professional installer?make it go away!"

come on , this sounds like a half-!!!!! attempt by an amateur installer!

leave it alone,don't turn it on,make them stand behind it.

Welcome to Miami. It really is very difficult to get anyone competent these days. Even worse, this guy was recommended by a friend of mine.
