looks fine...but im not sure i would have tied the wire up to the radiator hoses...they tend to get a tad warm...

i thought about that after i done and was thinking of changing that tomorrow when i get there ;)

wow you got hired at a car audio shop and you dont know how to solder?

Can I have a job? I want triple what you make thou

ive never been around solder or welding or anything like that, but i can use a torch.

If I get some free time I will stop by there and show you how. Should be home tomorrow afternoon and most of the day thursday. Check you tube. I am sure there are some vids online already. Try and heat the wire , not the solder. And dont forget to slip some heatshrink on the wire and move it out the way before you splice it.

i was gonna pay for it and nick didnt get back to me in time before the holiday hit with a place to send the money through paypal.

and then my truck payment came out twice and im stilll trying to catch back up from that.

ban me IDGAF!

Whaaaa?

I Can predict.....

Im not banning him from the forum, but I am banning him from the build forum.new mod I just installing just for him

Whaaaaa?

WOW.

Most restraint I've ever seen outta D.

You sure pick the funnny times for it IMO.

And thanx for the red part...I had about given up on the "charity".

thread not dead john. being as i am working at the shop i can be working on my truck while i have nothing else to do. should have my windows and windshield tinted this week, hopefully by friday or saturday.

and then hopefully that next week ill be starting on my wall. the actual building part. my Remote Start and keyless entry also ships out tomorrow from Stephen_C :D today i also ripped my AVIC-N3 and redid the wiring in the back of it. its all cleanly zip tied and crimp capped now instead of electrical tape. i ran into a problem though with the unit not wanting to turn on without the constant being connected to the switched. i think my factory harness doesnt have the wire in the right place to work with my dash kit or something. no big deal though. itll be figured out and pictures tomorrow after work.

Also we might have a 911 Porsche coming through the bay for a tint job tomorrow so ill definately be sure to get some pics of that sex.

I hope you take PIX of stationary cars better than you install audio.

sure, a video would be better ;)

Jesus, You ARE a lazy fuck.

Cmon guys this is a public discussion forum you dont need to be bitchin at each other and shit.. I can see where its comming from though.. Dustin these guys will tell you things like wait to post until youve done work and taken pics, learn to solder, dont use duct tape.. etc etc.. The reason ppl are bitchin and tellin you that you and car audio dont mix is because you havent taken the time to take ppl's advice and use it, maybe you have and just havent put updated pics or something. Solder those wires or replace the duct tape with electrical or hell the best thing i would like to see is that 1/0 soldered not crimped homie... Just take what they are telling you as advice, make some changes and people will act differently towards you. I havent spoken my mind until now and instead of going all out telling you the flaws that others have already done i said what i thought was the problem. We start by telling you this stuff to make sure your shit works good, but when we give you advice then you dont take it or something like that then its useless.. We're beating a dead horse right now man until you show us you have made changes. Show us the pics of the box youre building for that Cobra tonight along with either electrical tape or solder or something man.. Just try to work on it.. Guys im not tryin to back anyone up on this, i agree Dustin's work quality has been less than desired but just cmon.. We dont need be tellin each other they suck and to eat a dick (chuckles), all we're doin is fuckin up an awesome forum we have here.. Lets get this man on the right path!
