well thats exactly what happened. they drilled 2 holes like idiots . one was for the ground wire (dont ask me how it didnt catch on fire A LONG time ago) and one was a screw that was "holding" the box in place. thats what I get for letting someone else mess with my trunk. but the other problem was 2 things, a bad trunk seal causing it to have a small leak under heavy rains in the corners, and one of the sunroof drains was lose. its all dry now and i have filled the holes! now i am going to re-do it myself. have done it before just did not have the time to do it and thats why i paid someone to do it. never again!

do a search and there are many people who have had the same problem with the sunroof drains. just a friendly FYI for those with a lot of $$ in their trunk.....check the tubes for the sunroof and make sure they are seated in good and no clogs!! you dont wanna be like me and have to re-do the whole thing after paying close to a grand for an install.

i guess u don't know much about audio systems.

the ground wire does not run any electricity, it won't "catch on fire". 99% of systems do drill a hole for the ground wire, there are smart places to drill it and stupid places. ur installer picked a stupid place. you should have watch the install processes. also the leaks that were not caused by ur audio installers are big problems as well, those u should take care of.. its ur fault for not fixing it in the first place.

also go back to the install place and tell them what happened if u haven't done so yet.

i do know my way around a car stereo im not certified or anything but i know what is going on.

as for the catch on fire i was speaking of the water being in there with 1500 watts RMS running through the trunk with the amp sitting in standing water. sorry i work a full time job and could not watch the install, if i had that ammount of free time i would have done it myself in the first place . there were NO leaks before i had the stereo put in, i belive the constant ratlle from the 2, 15's may have broke lose the seal on the trunk and sunroof drain. i would not put $3000 into a stereo if i have water leaks, that would make no sense .

yes i have talked to them about the problems they have caused and i have a voucher for either serivces or products, due to their error.

no point to argue about it with you. we are here to help each other.

wasn't arguing. just stating my points. if u know how to do it urself and u love ur car, why would you let anyone else touch it? i know u work, but i doubt u work 7 days a week for 52 weeks 365 (366 this year) a year.... you have time off, put ur love and heart into doing it urself.

u save money, feel better, and know its done right... and if u eff up u can only blame urself.

pizz419

ahh i wont eff it up my only part of effing up the whole thing was letting those dumbass installers do it the first time.........lesson learned. a very expensive one at that. i will def post picts of progress once it finally warms up a little. too cold and no garage.

pizz419

onto progress i talked to rvynal.com and their products will stick to MDF...........and they have a "wood grain" that matches my fake wood. ideas....ideas. already ordered some chrome to do my shift gate and depending on if the product is easy to work with....i will be covering in black/silver/blackwood "wood grain"

can u put up some more pics of the door speakers and seperate tweeters i wanted to put those polk ones in myself

LoCotl13

I have just run into the same problem. I was getting ready to custom out my whole trunk, after having two kicker 12" L7s in a ported box in the truck when i noticed a shitload of water that wasnt there when I put the subs in last week. solutions?

motoxrider295

Here's some off my custom audio/video, only pics of the component speakers and headrest monitors but soon to have 12 inch L7 with Alpine 850W RMS Amp and 4-Channel for Highs.

Here's my tweeter install myself. I like it much better than surface mounting the tweeters on the triangle plastic panel. (Alpine Type-R 6.5in Compnent) All I did was take a 2 inch hole-saw and some hot glue and shabam!


These are my 7inch headrest monitors made by invision, both have individual DVD players but I have them hooked to an xbox under the passenger seat.
