NIGHTMARE - Another Expert Level Installation - Just STOP Doing Car Audio, Please!

[@PabloConcrete]

No way this has been done by the shop. This looks like puremely executed home made project.

[@ealneas1]

I done my car at home, but it didn't turn out this bad 😅 I feel sorry for the owner

[@thekingsfamily7800]

Exactly what I'm thinking. This has to be a back street, Sunday afternoon, 'I've got some bits in the shed' job :)

[@motorax.service.motociclete]

worse than home made :))

[@yiaxiong7864]

It's possible. I had a shop do mine a few years back simply because I was lazy. Had similar results to this.

[@nismofreak33]

That is extremely rough for a shop but pretty standard for a home gamer who is a bit too enthusiastic lol. Even the equipment is low quality. I look forward to the "trail of destruction" video haha

[@ScramTek]

Those Hertz subs are quite pricey (not that I’d choose them) but the rest of the kit is junk.

[@GanG914]

Hertz is never low quality. Not high end but they always produce nice sound in the right installation.

[@ic_caraudio]

Came here to say this. Like it’s not out of the question that a shop did this, I mean there’s some pretty bad ones. But this just reminds me of a DIYer doing stuff from an online forum or KZbin instructions and then embarrassed saying a shop did it. Regardless, besides the Hertz stuff the rest is like cheap shit so I’m not surprised the install matches.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Those Hertz subs aren't "low quality", not something I'd personally choose, but they're good subs that have a wide range, good power handling, pretty damn good sensitivity, and definitely aren't cheap.... I mean, that's about $1400 for those 2 subs there... it's just absolutely everything else is pure garbage 😅 If he would've just bought one sub, and a simple $100-$200 decently built within spec pre built enclosure for the one, a better quality amp and just simply went to like, Best Buy for a cheap amp and sub install where they wouldn't do anything crazy, but would install everything correctly enough and properly setup his amp and voltages, he would've never needed the rest of that crap on the back deck that's probably not even adding to the bass he was clearly looking for 😅 Literally everything he's running is just either in completely leaking or not even attempted to be enclosed.... enclosures 🤣

[@RJSDZNS]

Holy crap!!! If that was done by a shop they need to close their doors. That "port"!!! I certainly hope this guy is prepared to pay for a proper install. That install looks like a backyard, hold my beer, install!!

[@r_p_m7330]

I did mine in the backyard and had a few beers. Mine looks great. I watched too many 5 Star install videos. Wanted to make Dean proud.

[@RJSDZNS]

@@r_p_m7330 bro if you watched five star videos I have no doubt your install is on another planet compared to this one!

[@ealneas1]

@@RJSDZNS This is underground build 😂😂 How the shop can give you car back like this and show you the system

[@justkiddin1980]

I think the customer told him it was done by a “shop” and did it himself...Nobody in his right mind would accept work this bad..

[@electrontransferconduit657]

People saying they dont think a professional did that. As an installer myself, trust me, there are "professionals" that do that kind of install. Those types only care about the money and getting the car out the door and not the install and shouldnt be allowed anywhere near a vehicle.

[@chriswray2132]

I am utterly amazed that the owner didnt go back to the shop with a can of petrol, how can anyone drive away with that , and not say anything, lol at least they got the name right on the amp, anarchy, because thats what this is !

[@AcidDeathRitual]

Jesus! That is easily one of the worst installs I've seen, maybe top 5. Like I've used male spade connectors as a speaker wire ferrule before, or even a cut ring in place of a fork connector. But man, hacked up ring terminal for a power wire reducer; that's a scary new one.

[@MISSYTHEPITSKY]

PEATER !!!!!!@!!!!! I would like to thank u I'm a old installer that become an autobody technician I have been using fiberglass for years and can build what ever I desire I found your channel and saw your puzzle peace technique I didn't get it at first thought it was a wast of time then I realized my cool project look cool but don't sound that great i just completed a glove box build with 2 8inch subs built with your techniques it sounds amazing I am started to book work every weekend 😀 thank u so much puzzle peqce technique is a game changer

[@MiracledetailCoUk]

Wow no words for such a mess of an install!

[@pssound9749]

I wonder how he can still drive around with that after he cancelled the job… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AlexWayne1]

liked as always. now im gonna enjoy the video! edit: damn man. thats just horrible. i really hope he didnt pay them much for it. but he probably did. sadly.

[@TheSFFV]

What a mess. Look forward to seeing it worked on. I can't believe he paid someone money to do that. I am sure those subs installed properly would sound great.

[@NeaveConstantine]

Absolutely hilarious... No other way to describe it...

[@hertzaudioboy]

Looks like a couple of 16 year old boys weekend diy build 👍

[@TalonPro]

I did a better job than that when i started at 16, back in 1990...

[@patrickg8337]

[@vanceproctor3568]

Planet audio....for real I wouldn't pay any money to have those installed.

[@stevenwolfie]

i hope he comes back i cant wait to see videos of this

[@pssound9749]

That won’t happen for a while based on the fact that he cancelled the scheduled job in August just a week before the planned day and he’s been quiet ever since.

[@eduardobatista329]

People want things for free, I know it's expensive, and what I've learned cost money, but he actually has a few good pieces that can be used

[@jamband4230]

There's no way your gonna tell me shop did this. This was a 16 yr old kid who read a car stereo review and decided it looked easy. But regardless august is months away. You should tell the owner to st a minimum pull the box out and Bondo or glue some wood plugs in the box. At least it will sound a little better for 3 months until you can build him a proper box. Or go on Facebook marketplace and spend $40 on a crap prefab. I would take that shop to court if they did this to my car

[@flspeid]

At least, the subs and the battery could be reutilized. The other items just..... Nice challenge , I will be monitoring the progress of this and the outcome.

[@charleshamilton6177]

Peter tell the customer. We are so sorry that he paid someone to install that disaster.

[@speedpros]

C'mon man imma diy guy I know the owner of this car tried his hand at car audio installation to avoid spending that money on installation cost cause ain't no way in the world a knowledgeable shop did that install. Now it is time to say the hell with it and let pro Pete do it and it is no shame when you figure your limitations when it comes to this hobby

[@adaboy4z]

This can't be real Bro. This looks like what my buddy did to his car in the 10th grade.

[@OEFVet0405]

I really like the paradigm of having previous customers who had a great experience, who enjoys their cars and the hobby, that are willing to give a demo to a prospective customer. I think this is a great idea, and I would love to have this opportunity if I were a prospective client.

[@chriscuthbertson]

If a shop did this they need to stop calling themselves a shop. I've done way better installs working overnight to get a car ready for a show the next morning, in my teens.

[@K-Effect]

It would take me so much more time and effort to install a system this bad then to just install it properly. Then I hear you say this is a Mercedes, makes me feel so sad for the owner of this vehicle

No way did a shop do that install. I wouldn't have paid £10 for that work. Reminds me of the Escort XR3i installs back in the day when ProPlus and the other cheap manufacturers were big.
