Stereo Install Day?

[Abo Bob]

Just throwing up an idea.

What if we had a stereo install day maybe in a Strathfield car park where you bring, or buy on the day, your uninstalled stereo gear and the people in the club with experience can help you install it?

We wouldn't be making any sub boxes for you but I think it would be fair to say that the main purpose of this is for the experienced people to help with wiring for those who know nothing or very little about car electrics and to show how things like the dash come apart and go back together for those who haven't delved that deep into their cars as yet.

We can also tune the system once it's up and running as well as explain along the way what things are and how they work.

can help. just to make point if we are doing it right we will need power if we do it without using crimps

You're planning on doing this at a Strathfield car park? Don't think it'll go down too well.... it is part of their business you know.

Also; the soldering irons which plug in will be useless, you won't have readily accessible power. So you'll need a gas powered one.

Its a good idea in theory, but i dont know how well it would work, stezza installs do need a bit of concentration and explaining it to the unknowing user would take alot of time, so 3 people in the know how with stezzas, and 8 uninstalled systems would be a bit whack.........

I'm with Ed.

I could help having installed many head units before.

only thing is, logistically it would be insane.

As for soldering? are you serious? thats what electrical tape was intvented for!

i'm pretty sure thats what adams saying

i thought the same thing before i re read it and it says "A strathfield carpark" rather than "THE strathfield car park" as if there were some car park where you usually do these things

could be wrong though

[Abo Bob]

It was a vauge suggestion that we use a carpark belonging to Strathfield car radios but I never suggested asking them for advice.

Heatshrink is great. its like easy to use electrical tape.

The dash is for making the wires all neat and shit by keeping them out of view.

True..Still I can see it (in my head) lol

[lingeringsoul]

maybe this will be incentive enough for me to upgrade to a semi decent stereo

maybe also hold a "Wire my gauges day"

[Haysey]

You provide the beer, ill provide the tech support, ill also need a lift....

"Lets see who can wire a stezza good after smashing a few beers day"

pfft electrical tape, gaffa tape ftw, grip like no other

[br3tt]

This would be awesome as I am the stereo noob and I wanna upgrade my amp and get my door speakers working again but don't wanna bug my mate because he is always busy.

I'm in.

[TRUBLSM]

I can post up R32 Wiring Colour codes

[Abo Bob]

Do it.

i've got 1 or 2 power converters. just plug into cigarette lighter and converts into 240v AC that i was using for the ps2 in my m3. but now ive got one laying around since its out now.

im not sure if we can hook up a few with extensions and a power board (with the car running ofcorse). its just an idea though.
