as much of a pain as it is sometimes, i think that's why most of us try to do the work ourselves. the one (and only) time i took my car to get something installed was for an alarm. 2 weeks later my 98 Hatchback was gone

this is my R...this install was done 2 owners ago...for $3000 i was hoping it was in some custom fiberglass boxes or something that i could sell...

does anyone want any wet wood?

also in the pics you can see a red dirty shop towel...there were 3 of them holding the panels from rattling...they were ******* used too...

Since the car is in NY looks like an unique autosports and sound like some prices they would charge. I saw some of there stuff at SEMA and it was a joke

I had the same **** with my car I just bought, someone did a horrible job of the radio install (bare wires twisted together) the alarm or something (stereo wire left chilling inside the car - it had been removed by that owner) 2 trillion random *** grounding points left screwed in and my favorite was a ball point pen left inside the dashboard from South Africa hahaha I"m glad I"m doing all the repairs and crap myself

see they did an awesome job of wiring, and im surprised they did this hack job...like i dont think they could have done a better job of wiring, everything is plug n play with the amps and components no wires were cut at all...
