Does anybody have pictures of crappy installs?

I once heard of someone using telephone cable to power an amp.

Or screws coming out through the roof when somebody mounted a flip down dvd player.

or power cables in plain view.

Lets see the pics!!

Maybe that guy works at best buy or something, lol, that is pretty bad.

from what i gathered he may have been trying to get a response, anyone else get that feeling? as far as ghetto, worst I think i've seen was a pa box with a run of either 12 or 14/2 for home for power wire to the 12volt amp.... friend today reminded me about a inline fuse,.... soldered to a glass fuse was a wire..... then taped a local shop did that install

a remote car starter/alarm,installed[big name place] with twist&taped wires in my ex's car, but i didn't think of taking a picture at the time...the car would just stop running once in a while...i ended up soldering up the wires and getting the clown fired, after showing his manager how it should of been done in the first place.

Back in the early to mid 90's when I was installing I saw to many bad installs to count. Things like complete audio and alarm systems installed by wire twisting. Not one connector in the whole car. Those were funny, but not all that uncommon. The two that still stick in my mind were this guy who came in complaining that he bought a sub and it doesn't put out any bass. I went out to his car, look inside, and see a 15" driver sitting on the rear seat of the car. The second guy had a similar issue with low output. This guy had the sub in a box. Unfortunately it was the cardboard box it came packaged in.

They NEVER should have locked that thread. 'Desolator144' claims to have two degrees and admits to spending $360 on that setup. I would highly recommend reading all of his posts in that thread!

LOL, Some people should take an IQ test before using electronics, especially if they are going to install them.

Wow, I'd like 10 minutes of my life back. To each his own I guess. The sad part is; as much time and effort as he put into that system, he could have had a really nice setup by just doing it the right way.

What do you mean the right way??? Those Logitech speakers sound great on my computer, so why not my car

I really like the arrangement too - clearly a lot of thought went into that awesome setup - I bet it pulls awesome hair-tricks!!!

 

[turbo5upra]

and just think, he could have taken them apart and done a line array on the dash....... must not be very open minded...

You're right. In fact I'm going to go steal my wife's hair dryer and strap it to the intake on my truck. Voila, instant turbo.

One of the worst installs I have ever seen was in the "build log" section of this sight. I could never figure out if it was a joke or not so I never responded to it. It was within the last couple months. It was HORRID.

 

[Lysdexik]

haha wow.

 

[chad]

(and yes I know the amp transforms it back into DC cuz there's no such thing as an AC speaker).

Excellent
