Hullo,
I've been posting around that I'm getting a new stereo installed. Well today it finally happened.
I've been looking forward to this for years. That isnt an understatement! A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away), I bought some stuff for my then car, which wouldnt fit in it, so its been lying around until I got a car that would fit it - the vr6!!
So today a Clarion dxz766usb HU, alpine type-x 6.5" splits and an alpine MRT-502T 2x75watt amp went in.
Now I'm no pro on installing, but i'm not happy with the job. Very not happy.
There's NO mid-bass from the splits. at all. They're not even working.
I requested all Audison cabling, wasnt done. They've used aeropro & stinger and the existing crap speaker wires instead.
I requested all the old gear be removed. Has been partially done. Infact, the installers been so lazy they've only removed the bits that obviously needed to come out to make way for the new gear. So half of the old splits are still in there along with their cross overs & along with the old coax's in the rear - which have been wired into the HU!!!
The tweeters have been placed in the window sails, and one fires directly INTO THE DASH (drivers side).
Theres more, but I'm getting over the flu so my brains gone all muddy.
I will be seeking recourse with the store early next week, I'm too busy until then but its very irritating that a car audio joint could have done such a BAD job! Amazing.
BTW, this is coming from someone who works in customer service. I know what bad jobs are. This is a total cock up.
The only silver lining so far is the head unit. Freaking amazing. Even with the botched speaker job it sounds incredible. Perhaps when the store fixes everything, it'll sound even better.
