Clackamas Stereo King + 86 = Epic FAIL

I went to Stereo King at 9:45 a.m. to buy an Amp and having it installed to drive my custom subwoofer enclosure in the trunk.

So I gave them the keys and 3 hours later they tell me that they had a low signal issue and they were troubleshooting. An hour after that they tell me the car is ready and I pay the bill.

But seconds later the installer tells me that the speakers are producing a cracking noise and needs a $150 part to fix it.

Obviously I said this was not acceptable and that I wanted someone to draw out what they did. Sure enough they had not looked up any wiring or spec information on the FR-S and had no idea that there was a stock amp in the car.

This is ridiculous! A stereo shop that does installs every day and never looks at wiring diagrams or specs for a specific vehicle before working on it? This is absurd and I have freaking waisted 5 hrs of my day so far.

Stay the hell away from this place!

And BTW, I didn't go to Car Toys, because they wanted to up sell without even knowing what the car had for stock equipment.

I am still waiting for a resolution on site. They are trying to still tap the signal from the deck instead of stock amp input. They want to amplify it so they don't have to rewire the whole car again. So much for my shoot scouting trip today! Argh!
