finkster Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) so my sister came over today and she went to the store with my mom. She has my old system in her car, 1 12" L7 on a PG Octane R 15.0:1 amp. She took it to Myer Emco to install it, she said she didnt trust me to lol.... While she was gone, I decided to look over her amp settings to make sure they were legit....so I fold down the back seats and this is what I see.... and Im like WTF...Did they really use an 8 gage ground with a 4 gage power wire.... and sure enough... so I call her and ask what the name of the person who installed it, she said some dude named Donny, and how he does legit work and hes high up in the ranks there and i dont know what im talking about lol....then she bitched about how theres a small popping noise from the sub every time she turns the car on.... Well I guess so, i take out the ground and see... the ground wire was a foot over what its supposed to be, and here is how he sanded the ground...LOOKS LIKE SHIT...and the other side that goes into the amp looked like this... he bolted it in and squished the jacketing, not the copper, which was already too small of a wire in the first place.... So I fixed it for her, I just happened to have some 4 gage laying around (although the thread count was a little less but it will do for now. It just pisses me off that people are actually getting paid for this shit.... i got the number to the place and Im going to call them up tomorrow (closed on Sundays)....and bitch to this "Donny"...Matter of fact I live close enough ill drive there and show him the ground wire he used and fucked up. ANYBODY CLOSE TO FREDERICK, MD DONT GO TO MYER EMCO....I been in the shop once and actually thought it was nice, they got a nice JL and Monster display...o well, goes to show u stupid fucks can be anywhere. Anyways, all is well now and it sounds like it should... New ground spot...less than a foot from the amp... Much better Edited March 23, 2009 by Chubby Chaser Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTX J30 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 if you go to the shop or call them could you tell us what happens. Quote Once or twice I have missed having a back seat / rear hatch, but all in all people love to see a walled vehcile. It just screams "i'm not fucking around with my setup, im loud" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finkster Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh believe me I will let you guys know. Unfortunately since i dont have a car i will most likely call him, unless my buddy takes me. It just pisses me off that "Donny" got paid 100 dollars to do a shitty job. Its also my old equipment, and I care about it just as much as my sister does.

Mikesmith0890 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 If it wasnt your sis, i woulda left that shit alone since she tried to rag on you saying how you were imcompetent to do it.

But props on doing the right thing. haha yea she gets like that sometimes. Yea if it was someone other than family i wouldnt touch their shit. Just the fact that I didnt want to see my setup go in the shitter...or possibly her car lol... I also explained to her exactly what i did and when she found out Donny fucked her over she was pissed... DOUBLE EDIT: I also need to get some guts pics of the amp for shits and giggles, cuz this is the one octane series ROE doesnt have...

qu1cks1lver56 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 i cant stand it when shops do that to people. i install shit the right way for people for free (most of the time), maybe i should start charging everybody that i do an install for.

finkster Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 ok, so im going up there in a couple hours. Gotta wait to get my siblings of the bus. I figured going up there i will leave a greater impression on what he did wrong (rather than talking on the phone)....Not to mention Im bringing in that piece of shit 8 gage ground wire he ran so him and his fellow employees can see... Hmm maybe there will be a couple customers I can scare away too Update coming shortly...
