white4d96 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Honestly I don't see how he can fire you for that. What kind of place is it? I would see if you can appeal it or something, because that just screams to me Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 He definitly cant fire you for that. If you did get your job back they`d just treat you like shit for getting it back. You`ll just get the worst of the worst, so it`s a good thing your happy about lookin for a better job. GL in the job search and congrats on everything being covered.

snafu Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 dccavalier, Man, reading threads like this really take one's breath away. I've been in and around car audio since 1984. In my time, I can't tell you how many fires that I've seen due to a rushed installation. When you're dealing with 4 gauge and larger cables, shorts are sometimes unforgiving - especially when you have batteries located somewhere other than stock. You absolutely, positively must ensure that you are placing fuses or circuit breakers where they can protect the wiring to the fullest and that they are sized appropriately based on the current capacity of the cables. For example, if you locate a battery in the rear of the vehicle, the run of cable from the front to rear MUST be fused at both ends - preferably within 18" of each battery. PM me your address and I'll send you an autographed copy of my book Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems at no charge. Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 have extremely detailed explanations of how to safely upgrade your charging system, protecting the cables, safely adding an auxiliary battery, etc. For anyone else, I guarantee you that my book is cheap insurance so that you don't experience the same thing. I'm glad that your insurance company covered you fully. Now . . . let's not see any more threads like this at SMD! Best of luck to you in the rebuild!
