The place i worked at closed down, and for the mean time i set up a home shop to keep funds comming in, but now an owner from another shop is looking for me to work for him, but the problem is there main line is Clarion, and i just can't stand the stuff because everyone in town thinks its just the cats meow.

Should i just suck it up and install the stuff? Is anyone in the same situation as me? I keep thinking this kind of thing may make me dislike the finished installs i do.

This situation is purely opinion based I think. If I were you I would pick this job for a couple of reasons.

1. the income. swallow your pride with the gear.

2. You now have another reference to use in the future.

Your ability to do good work is not judged based upon the product, I don't think. I agree that bad product is sort of disappointing to look at, but its not your car!

Like Dwarren said, plus u dont lose out on income and u can always look around for a company that u would rather work for at the same time.

Do I need to smack you upside the head, take the job. Clarion is a tool and that is all. Use the tool for it's intended job. If you are the installer, you are paid to install. It is the customers choice of which brand to use. Maybe the shop will grow and soon you will have different tools to use or maybe you will find a different shop with tools more associated to what you like. Don't pass up a job opportunity dude. How can you save for that nice Eclipse cd player.......

Im sure they have more than just Clarion. As long as money is coming in and your doing installs, it really cant be that bad. Just suggest that Alpine(or other brands that you have interest in) should be carried there, its not like it is a Clarion Manu. or shop. Are there any other good shops around you?

Humm, i guess im just being a whiney baby lol, i understand i'll never get the $25/h i was getting before, but at least i'll have a job and a warm bay with lights this time. The only other shop around here the boss is a real kookoo head, i worked with his ex employes and there all afraid of him....i'll stay away from there.

Just take the job, then you can convince the owner to get better equipment.
