I have bee trying to find pics of the all out worst installs.
remember the one one where the guy cut holes in the floor of truck and just dropped subs into the hole...or the guy that used a hollowed out log for a sub box...
yeah...lets compile a bunch of those!

I saw a hollowed out log sub box in a $3.8mil log home in Montana. ALL of the furniture was made from logs so it blended in. It was a monster in that room too.
I guess it sounds crazy though. Kinda like a GRANITE sub box......

I think i saw something similiar to this on one of the hd channels-the military has been testing sound waves, travel upto 200yards at incredible dbs to cause the enemy to surrender-They should just hook speakers up with guns n roses playing 24/7 like they did to Noriega!@!!

We should have a best installs thread too, and those pics of the box that looked like a body should be there.
Still the best install I have ever seen

I'm digging. Problem is I don't usually keep these type of pics around very long. But I'll find some. Hell I could keep this thread going with the stuff I see come through on a weekly basis.

Here's a good one! No explaination needed.
Note the 16ga groung wire taped to the seat brace.

Thats hard to top.....................
No remote wire???? Must be turned on by hopes and dreams......

Actually there were a couple of strands from the 4ga spread over to the remote term. So it was always on!

I always wonder what happens to the nice equipment that is sold over the counter. Then after this I would rather not know.
Hey at least he used color matching screw caps!

I hate spade terminals for this reason. At least if you have two big 4g holes, you might start thinking that it needs a big ground wire. I guess lots of people figure ground on an amp is like "grounding" your old phono stuff. Just a small drain wire
At least they used proper power wire! I've seen people try to power amps with speaker wire tapped in their fusebox

You mean like this?

Except I don't think he bothered with tape. Just a little twist.
Then of coarse the old run it through the door jamb trick!
