[QUOTE="TooLowTooGo, post: 1288124, member: 554786"] ok this story is kinda funny but pissed me off at how stupid this guy is and how he tried to install this himself n ****ed up such a nice truck!!! I would have gotten more pics if i wasnt working on this POS for such a long time trying to fix his mistakes. heres 2 pics 2004 escalade riding on 24" foose rims dont mind the pics they were takin wit my shitty camera fone [IMG]http://photos.yafro.com/pics3/i/20051129/11/8/d/f/8df8fcb779da67f894670af614d59de2200511290_full.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://photos.yafro.com/pics3/i/20051129/11/8/1/1/8112959fa7b93ce9ebf66cd3f67751c8200511290_full.jpg[/IMG] any way it starts out nice. he rolls up with his 24's. NICE NICE TRUCK! i open up the back door to witness wires just everywhere:uhoh: he tells me that his amp will not power on his subs, he knows the amp works fine cause he hooked it up in his boys car and it runs fine. so i wonder what subs he has. i flip down the back part of the seat to reveal (2) 12" W3's in a custom enclosure that is so nice almost made me ***.. haha. I asked him who did the enclosure, he tells me he did.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif[/IMG] n e way so i flip the bottom seat up to reveal a Rockford 8002??? i ask him y he doesnt get a JL amp. he tells me there to much money? hellooooooooo ESCALADE 24's!!!! I ask him who did the install. he said him and his friends install all the time. while im thinking in my head DONT COME NEAR MY TRUCK MAN![IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif[/IMG] I start to look at the wiring and notice things that were quite funny. he has his ground ran to the seat. but the bolt was to big so he cut it off. and wraped it aroun... the power wire was attached to a Distro block with atleast 7ft of 8guage on it to the amp. the ground was the same way aswell. 4guage to 8guage. the turn on was the one that comes ont he RCA's and all the wires were cut so far back and put into the amp that they were touching eachother. i then have him sign paper work and start out.. easy fix turns out it was his ground n turnon ****in it up. I also later find out he poped 3 fuses fromt he wires touching. thats an easy fix ok now i fix the ground. fix the power wire. onto the turn on... i ask him where he hooked the turn on to. he said behind the headunit on the remote wire. im like ok weird, cause it doesnt work. now this is where it gets good. he has a double din eclipse touchscreen, nice headunit. I rip off the dash pieces. and get a drill. i take off the first screw n something hits me in my leg, im like WTF? do the next screw n AGIAN something hits me in the leg:confused: so i look at the floor to find 2 huge nuts? i look at the 3rd and last(yes only 3. lol later found out he custom made it cause CC wouldnt)screw n relize a nut between the screw n the backplate. I then remove the headunit and in its trail comes out the biggest bunch of wires ive ever seen. and im not lying, i dont know how or where they even came from. I then find the turn on wire. atleast he soldered it.. but umm he soldered it to the power antenea wire;) i fix it all up make it all better. make sure the amp turns on n everything. now time to put the headunit back in. I struggle with this **** load of wires for atleast 20 misn. finally have him come over, he tells me he has a stradegy... yeah stradegy, he grabes a handful of wires n jams it in there n then jams the unit into place. then he picks up the nuts n tells me to screw the screws in while he hold up the SPACER:laugh: so i do so. i test it all out make sure everything works and hes happy. right when he was leaving i asked him how much the rims were.. he said he payed aroun 8 with tires:crazy:. i ask him agian who did the enclosure, he looks at me n said well i did. i put the subs in:waycrazy: right when i got him in the truck and he was about to pull away i told him. have a nice day n i hope he learns how to install alittle better next time [/QUOTE]
