I don't think he did it himself. I think that's how he got it from the shop. At least that's what I picked up from the description/various vids...

Yea watch the rest of his videos. He paid someone to do this to his truck. Time to contact a lawyer and sue them for a refund. I know I would damn well would get my money back.

Damn I didnt listen to the audio because I was in class...you mean a shop actually did this? I dont believe it. Ive seen some FUBAR stuff from shops before, but that is just ridiculous.

Haha you want to see the real ****up on this truck check out CA.com. This guy spent literally 36K on the setup, and got beautiful cosmetics. But when he went for the teardown for bigger numbers, he found that the dual 1/0 inputs to the RD D9 (beast amps FYI) were simply single 1/0 split and elec taped into duals.

Absolute ****. Of course, the shop is out of buisness and the owner is MIA

Hes not a "kid" moron, and that truck was louder with a ****ty install than you will ever be.
And amps in the center console, especially D9s (like you know what they are ) are sexy as fawk. It was a ****ty shop that took a 70 hr/wk man for a ride. Not his fault, and the cosmetics were impeccable.

He has tried, but the shop closed its doors after he dropped 30k + cash
