I just hope he didn't chip out the remaining length after installing the midbass. That is terrible.

Nitrous, where art thou? Enjoy maadi!

Here are a few things that I have seen, thought I'll share it with you people:

1. I once saw a setup where the electrician had tried to fit the amplifier in the boot on the back seat. He drilled the holes so deep behind the seat that the drill went on to make a hole in the Stanley leather and the armrest. My friend fought with the installer for hours and got new Stanley for the rear seats. Of course, the installer paid for it.

2. This once happened to me - I don't remember what was being fit, but I was watching the interiors and the battery was being connected after installation. I assume, the guy who was connecting it, must have shorted the positive of the battery and the A/C pipe, causing a hole in the pipe.
I ran to the hood to see what was wrong and there I see, all the gas getting out in a flash. The installer ended up paying for the A/C pipe though, cost me a neat 3,000/-. The worst thing is, I was getting something really trivial installed which took about 10-15 minutes and the A/C pipe took 2 long days to arrive!

My experiences may seem somewhat irrelevant since it did not damage ICE, but I thought it would help someone to know a couple of more situations where installations can get horrible.
