Posted By: Tuned3900SFI So I was busy today.... - 05/02/05 01:11 AM
So, today I helped out a few fellow CEG'ers. First, I went to Bill's place (starjamir- he lives 1.5hours away from me). I did the following:

Cleaned his Upper and lower Intake
Replaced his spark Plugs
Replaced his wires
Replaced his fuel filter


WHile I was there, Robert (Rawburt) showed up and I:

Cleaned his Upper and Lower Intake
Made fun of his bendy antenna and checked out his new rims



After my 2 hour stay at bills house, I went to jared (aliasJerk- 3 hours away from me) While I was there, I:

Did a proffesional install of an amp and sub, worked excellent.. now he's bumpin!!


Then, on my way home, a little old lady in a teal 96 mystique was on the side of the freeway with a flat tire... so, I

stopped and put her spare on.
She checked out my ride, too.. which was funny, but cool. I even dropped the contour.org on her... we'll see if her 60 year old self shows up here.


WHile on the side of the road, she jokingly said, "wanna race!?"... I thought that was f-in' hilarious. Mrs. Jamson... you are the bomb!!



Phew... I've seen too many tours/mystiques today. All in a days work....

You have the amazing Stazi near you.. have him do it... he's lazy. However, if you can make him not be lazy, you'll have to wait about a month before I have some free time (I've ogt finals, overtime work, and SZ05 coming up for MAY.

I figured you + electronics= hazard!! Yeah, my trunk is open in the garage right now airing out.. my akcet was SOAKED with gas.

So if I go to SZ 05, you'll help install new wires, plugs, clean my IMRC, and other misc stuff?

Good work man. That's what these boards are about... helping. Although, with the price of gas, I hope you got some gas $$ back. Either way... class act.

Love that episode.

AS for my "install" :

MECP certifed 4 years ago in automotive audio, video, and home audio installation. Worked for best buy as a master installer for 2 years and worked for a contractor for Bose Audio for home installation. Haven't worked in installation for 2 years.. since now I have a job that pays me nearly 20 bucks an hour. I can see who the appreciative people are.. and the plain smartass people with nothing better to do than criticize. So eat your words.

Yup eat my words hmmmm,
Not to be a ass but if your a MECP cert'd installer what level are ya? Also how where you a Master installer at best buy? and if your a cert'd installer how come you where/are working as a porter?
Also if your a mecp installer how come your asking in the audio forum how to do a amp bypass? and many other questions?

I smell something Fishy here.. Could be this Tuna Sammich or it could be something else hmmmmm

Anyone can claim they are something, Ohh heres the best part!!! How are you MECP in home audio? let me spell the words out for ya MOBILE ELECTRONICS certifaction program.
Posted By: Tuned3900SFI Re: So I was busy today.... - 05/02/05 04:12 PM
No, you're not being an ass... let me clearify so things make more sense...


MECP certifed 4 years ago in automotive audio, video-- and I did home audio installation with BOSE audio.

4 years ago, I was bronze.. 3 years ago, I obtained silver.

Worked for best buy as a master installer for 2 years and worked for a contractor for Bose Audio for home installation. (Did these at the same time from age 18-almost 20. Worked as a porter BEFORE I did this.

I obtained my silver status through CEA's online course when I was 19... I am now 22.

Best Buy classified me as a Gold "master" installer.. because I was the only one who was actually trained in installation at our store, although I had only obtained my silver level.. and had no plans on continuing there after.


WTF is wrong with me asking about the amp bypass. Again.. it's been two.. almost three years since I've done any professional work. I see you asking similar questions audio..
Posted By: Steeda. Re: So I was busy today.... - 05/02/05 04:20 PM
What are these similair questions? I think you have me confussed with the people asking and the same 5 people answering the questions.

AMP by pass is simple.. My dog could do that type of stuff!

A dog can also lick himself.....I am just messing with ya

I don't know what the hell you are trying to prove, here. You and your "goon's" hijacked my thread with some rediculous bull [censored]. I know what I am and what I have done and been certified in. Thats all that matters to me and the hundreds of people I have done work for.

As for the amp by-pass.. my question was more in regarding why the harness I purchased to bypass the harness did not work...
