I've been thinking of doing the same... but most people dont trust a 16 year old with this kind of stuff, unless he works at a shop... which i soon might be :P You just doing them for friends, or are you advertising? |

Post Number: 8862 Registered: Jul-05 | i do all install incl boxes by myself used 2 do it 4 friends/family but when its done i'm still itching 2 do more hook ups so i decided 2 do this now well i dont really advertise since i dont want alot of ppl wanting me 2 do installs when i already have my reg job but i kinda advertise in a way by putting in my sig on a local forum that i do installs ,gotten quite a few PMs so far but this is actually the 1st job from it . Another guy has been asking me 2 redo his stuff so maybe i will get that small job too ..... |

Gold Member Username: LbecknerTulsa, Ok Usa Post Number: 1426 Registered: Oct-04 | Nice install Rovin, but it looks to me like you ran the power wire right beside the hot engine without any splitloom. Isn't that a bad spot? Seems like the heat would endanger the integrity of the wires insulation, but thats just me. Nice job though. |

Post Number: 10388 Registered: Jul-05 | ^^^thats a good point - its supposed to have some loom over that wire but we didnt have any around since it was wk end & shops here were closed & we just forgot all about it -lol but by mth end maybe we r gonna upgrade that 4g to 0g since we upgraded the sub\amps ....... |
