You need to run power, RCA's, etc, and that requires a lot of disassembly.

4 6.5's won't touch a good 8 for low end unless you are using 6.5's with a lot of Xmax.

I always love seeing the idiots with the RCAs laying on the floor between seats

I have seen a lot of garbage in my days.

"My girlfriends brother is a professional installer, he hooked me up!"




I have seen a lot horrible installs come out of the big stores, too.

Me too - installs where they just twisted wires together and covered them with masking tape, speakers just sitting in the rear deck or on the floor, wires left to hang in a tangle under the dash, etc.

Of course, I've also seen installers do stupid shit. One of them cut part way through the door skin of a BWM with a hole saw (from the inside). Another (might have been the same one) drilled into the heater core.

Fortunately, I never did anything quite that bad.
