Assuming that's a ground connection.

What's wrong with it?

Man talking bout how the wire wrapped in tape...I lold at the fact that the ring terminal didnt look like it was crimped nor was it soldered...

Lance · Postby **Lance** » March 19th, 2014, 11:04 am

It's seemed crimped well enough... Could probably use some solder though.

Look closely at end if crimped it isnt tight. Seems as 1 tough pull and it will come out...

Ok first thing i see there is the distro and fuseblock. Wouldn't the wires be moving if the backrest is raised/dropped, that can definitely come loose .

!!!!! Is that box on the left his battery area? Is it sealed and vented??

kavaninho · Postby **kavaninho** » March 19th, 2014, 11:51 am

oh and those crimp terminals, once done with the right tool the right way, they is no need for solder, hence the name crimp terminals. I' ve noticed people here using solder on almost all sizes of their crimp terminals, this is not supposed to be.

Look at name of ched again...but I kno most technicians put the solder as a failsafe/backup incase...

^^ ah glad you said that, so therefore most audio installers locally have lack of tools?
Comes back again to say a jigsaw and a screwdriver doesn't make you an installer.

wickedbreed · Postby **wickedbreed** » March 19th, 2014, 12:54 pm

Sometimes it seems so, but then I hear installers talking bout..they working according to how customers paying...I have no idea what kinda mentality this is...

can you show a proper sq system done by harry that wasn't loudspeakers....

roger · Postby **roger** » March 21st, 2014, 12:22 pm

reading thru this thread reminds me of:

1. why I install for myself and why I tune for myself.
2. why I install for no-one and tune for few

I have had a sq oriented install done many, many years ago by Sound Extreme, and it was actually well done. That was because I knew what I wanted and stayed with my car throughout the build to ensure it was done to my satisfaction.

I have also seen installs - both sq and street typed - done very suspect.

Too much smart man here yes! Seriously audio fanatics, please have a qualified technician install your acoustic equipment.

Aaron 2NR · Postby **Aaron 2NR** » March 21st, 2014, 8:15 pm

Only people I can speak about for quality work is

SR
Dinelle
Mobile audio concepts
Loudsounds

I think a lot of shops are limited wrt tuning since most are really unsure whay it should sound like in the first place....

From my knowledge I have never seen a gallery system from sr and dinelle and I share the view that pro audio sneakers should not be in a car....a lot of people are of the opinion that sq means loud and clean forgetting the real reproduction of music....

That being said people get the install they pay for

And what about "home" audio in a car?

I have no problem with the "type" of speakers you use or the ultimate goal of your system. Just do the damn thing correctly.

X2

I got 8 ohm pro audio speakers in my kick panels, 8 ohm home audio midbasses in my doors, 6 ohm tweeters in my A pillars and 2 "normal car audio" subs in the back. They all work very well together. I think some people just use the "pro" speakers improperly.

Also this irks me but Techflex and heatshrink etc doesn't make an install professional/more professional. Once the install is safe, secure and pleases the customer, well hey, to each his own.
