I called them, the guy says they aren't responsible and that i turned my music up too loud... i then asked about him setting gains and he said that he did not adjust them bc he was doing a "rush" job and it sounded good so he left them... so my question is what do i need to do... i have no proof of anything except a blown speaker... but nothing to give evidence that it's his fault... so how would this stand in small claims court any help would be GREATLY appreciated...

sounds like HIS fault, get him.

you spent your money for him to do an "install" job. he did an improper job, damaged your equipment and you are out some money. tell him you'll take legal action if they don't fix it or make some kind of agreement with you.

Oh yeah? I have had problems out of them in the past. This was ~3 years ago. I stray from them at all costs.

Who did you talk to? and who did your install?

Joe did the install and that's who I talked to... he said it was entirely my fault... i don't know really know how to prove that statement wrong... i was listening to my radio loud but if he had his crap together it wouldn't have blown

if he set the gains correctly, then theres no way you would've blown your subs.

Let them know your part of the biggest forum on the internet and we spend roughy $12 billion every year in car audio gear //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif .... If jman and jntar roll down there they could be like i was gonna have you hook up my system but my buddy came and you did such a shiTty job on his i dont think i want to trust you (seprately going) and maybe they will realize your loosing them business.

just a thought

He said that setting the gains properly don't guarantee that you will not blow a sub

Did you buy the subs and amp from him?

Get a camera out and take pics of the scratched CD, broke stearing wheel control, and gain settings on teh amp.

Then go up there and ask to talk to the manager. If Joe is the "lead installer" or "manager" ask to talk to his boss or a number for his boss.

Make sure you can provide the pics and his explanation for you destroyed equipment was "rush job".

You paid for a service, you didnt pay for a distroyed speaker and other items. Show them the facts...ask them to work with you on replacing what was not messed up to begin with.

If all else fails, contact a lawyer if you want to go that route, or chalk it up to a lesson learned.

bullchit on that, it will make it ALOT more trustworthier. It his is fault and he dont want to admit it. Call him back and tell him ALL the people on your forum told you it was his fault for him not setting the gains. As he said himself "i did a rush job" , who does ANYTHING right when they do a rush job?

 

[Jeb 10+ year member]

No i did not buy the subs and amp from them... i had them in my previous vehicle... and never had any problems

 

[PatFitz9 10+ year member]

thats ridiculous... listening to the music too loud? if there was such a point, the installer should tell you that when you pick the car up.

If you have a 500w sub, and set the gains on the amp to never exceed 500w, then how can it blow?
