What is the one car you simply dread to do and why? Mine is a Jeep Cheerokee Single din. Because of my big azz hands and trying to get the wires to go down.

K

The worse ones are the cars that have had a few radios installed in them already. Trying to figure out the wires, the splices, the poor connections.

However I did a Lamborghini once. A yellow one a few years ago. It was a pain because I had to make a face plate adapter, I couldn't find an accurate wiring diagram and it was tight.

I don't dread any car in particular, kinda like a challenge. The thing I dread is certain customers. Today for instance we had a guy come in that comes by every now and then. Always drunk, always has an attitude problem. He wants us to do a complete rewire and a full system in a 97 500SL. Not a fun car and of course he went on a tirade when I told him 2k in parts/labor not including the product he wanted.

Try a 1979 through 1985 Mustang. Pull the factory radio out of that. Or put a cd player in a 1976 Chevette. Done that. Never again. Ever.

hummer h2s (time consuming, and i do at least one a week), anything jaguar, austin martin (the older positive ground system) and anything that costs more than my house (200k-up)

remember-friends don't let friends install

Oh, and conversion vans or limos. Yeeaaaccchhh.

anything dealing with a vw beetle. ESPECIALLY A 4 CHANNEL AMP ON A FACTORY SYSTEM!!!!!! 300 in labor

A double din, i.e. Eclipse 5495 in a Nissan Titan. Metal dash support material has to come out.. what a pain.

Try flushmounting a Z2 in a 97 S-10.

good god...i just say buy a n3

I hate the H1's. To be as big as they are, there is no space to hide electronics.

Also converting my 2001 Tahoe's dash to the 03-06 dash was very time consuming. But I'm very anal about the looks of my truck, so it had to be perfect.

On the H1? You can hide a pair or si 14 Chuck Taylors inside the doghouse on that thing. Not a whole lot of room behind the radio area, but, under the console there is plenty of room. Opened one up once, and a Chinese family jumped out. Honest.

putting a avic into a delsol middle vent slot.

had to remove the dash. remove the side vents, remove the middle vents. tap side vents into the window defrost vent. seal holes.

then the 3 gaping holes on the heater vent system had to be chopped down from a 45 degree angle to then be flush. then seal the hole.

just to make room for the deck to fit in the damn vent slot... not even counting the fabrication of a din mount for the vent.

Why in the hell would you want to do that?

Del-Sol, yick.

Yea my thoughts exactly

im with cntry i enjoy a challenge.

ive gotta 99 honda civic next to me here that i did a simple indash, 4 spk, sub and amp 2. problem is the drivers door speaker wire isnt working

to run a wire into the door i had to pull spkr, remove door boot "plug" file down on the plugs hole enought to fit a spkr wire through then run the wire through the door boot. the problem is the boot is behind the fender instead of bieng accesable in the door jamb. a simple speaker install took me about 2 hours cuz i had to remove the front fender!

i hate old nissans cuz the plastic they use is very brittle in the year 2007

i cant list any cars that i hate but i LOVE working on toyota/lexus, chrysler/dodge, and gm vehicles.

Ooooooh, how about putting a non-ISO-mount deck in a late '80's Supra? When ya gotta cut up that rubber dash?

Pass the die grinder. Or as I like to call it the air dremel.

Anyone ever put in a Benzi-Box?

How about a CD player in a 1977 Chevette? How about a Buick Reatta (with the 125v display in the dash)? Ever put a DIN unit in a 1964 Corvette? ...... Shut the f**k up. Been there. Put it this way, I've installed a BRAND-NEW Kenwood KDC-1 in a 1984 Mustang SVO. (Trump Card!)So, shut up.

Hey shotgun, I did the same thing in my Suburban. How did you get your climate control section so centered? I need to work on that with mine.
