Vehicle Fire, Poor Stereo Install

Lets see, that is a sure fire (haha) way to also have ZERO insurance as well. I can go without that site and others no doubt. What I really find funny is that this person, who is apparantly a moderator, does not realize that he is also telling all the other people who may read the thread that it is alright to do what he is doing. It is not alright, it is dangerous. What if he is in an accident and his passenger is now trapped. The line short circuits, the vehicle is up in flames and while he may be out, his passenger is in there burning alive. All this idiot thinks about is himself. I really hope someone links to this thread for him and he reads this as well. What he is doing is wrong and dangerous. Lets see, add on a fuel leak and another car that perhaps ran a red light, now you have a much bigger problem. The single biggest danger on the road today, is the 16-25 year old male driver....with an attitude like his, now you know why. Get this, I GUARANTEE it's not gonna happen. Remember my username, I'll still be on ca.com in 2...3...6years, and I'll have a brand spankin new truck by then. Get over it, get over my project truck, get over yourself Mr. Middle-Aged know-it-all... glad you can predict the future as well what will my next dog's name be? I'll also be around, and GUARANTEE that even if I am in a wreck... my electrical won't cause any problems. So, mark my words... and mark yours too. I'll still be around. Anyways, learn me... learn me something... nG

How can you guarantee some drunk driver wont run a light and slam into you? I was in a big wreck in my last truck, it ended up going end over end in a ditch, and it wasnt my fault, I had a undiagnosed medical condition that caused me to black out at the wheel. Anyways the front end of my truck crumpled and the engine actually ended up basicly in the passanger side seat. In the process it destroyed well over half my SPL system and completly severed both wires I had running to the battery in behind the sub box from the front batteries. Obviously when this kinda damage happens you can imagine I was leaking gas like mad. Now in my case I had circuit breakers at both ends of my wire and both of those breakers blew. Would my vehicle have caught fire, who knows. But what I do know is that it took over 30 minutes to cut me out of the vehicle AFTER the rescue teams arrived on the scene because they had to cut down trees to get to my vehicle and then had to basiclly peel off the roof to get me out. See where Im going with this.  If the Vehicle had caught fire its pretty much assured I would not be typing this right now. As I said in the other forum, it IS your truck and MY opinion is mine and nothing else, but I can assure you that I will never run a power wire in my vehicle without this kinda protection on it. And I can also say that I have used that conduit you are using and its great stuff, but I can guarantee you that if thats all I was depending on to protect my wire when I got into my accident, that stuff wouldnt have stood a chance.

These vehicles you are talking about are not standard vehicles driven on the street, they are made for SPL contests. Being that your truck is your everyday driver it doesnt fall under the same catagory as these and hence should not have the same shortcuts taken

Yah, my bad and I apologize to him as well. Like I said, I am a championship smart *** and tell it like it is sometimes. I earned and can take the ban, no big deal.
