what do you loath having to do during an install


Recommended Posts

I hate being balls deep in an install and realizing I need to quit to go to the store for something to finish the install and the car I am working on is my only way there. Also I hate taking the equipment back out. I just left a $700 set of CDT components in my car I traded in instead of pulling them out. I didn't even have them hooked up since I yanked the sax100.4 but I was too fucking frustrated to pull them out. I wish I would have now cause I just spent another $400 on a set of comps.

Probably sanding and bondo work, takes the longest to do so little. That and dealing with REALLY old plastic panels that are brittle, once you pull them off, all of the panel pops snap the plastic tabs off and make them hard as shit to get back on.

Old plastic sucks.

Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

indeed it does.. i removed the "o-shit handle" on my s-10 to get the headliner down and the bolts had some little plastic cover on them.. they crumbled in my hand as i got em off :badmood2:

This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned
