Bad advice monster

Not one to complain, but I think this needs to be addressed. Lately here it seems like the bad advice monster has reappeared ( as he does from time to time). Guys, if you are not CERTAIN about answers you give DON'T GUESS! People are dealing thousands of dollers worth of equipment here, it's not a contest to see who has the most posts. Sorry, I just thought that needed to be said, now go away bad advice monster.There is no such thing as free installation!

Dave nods in agreement! It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I rely on those of you with experience to help correct the bad advice, as you put it.  The quantity always seems to increase right around the time school starts up each fall.  Thanks in advance!Support the12volt.com

If it wernt for Forbidden and Velocity way way back in the day I would still be doing stupid projects like 10 10's and underpowering it all! You guys helped mold me into what I have "become" today, I bet you didnt think you would release such a monster on the world huh? Even if thier is bad advice going around typically we will catch and correct the "mistake" that may have been listed, in most cases if I find an old topic that has had Bad info I tend to PM the topic starter 2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

nouseforaname, thanks for the post and your right about the difference between bad advice and lack of knowledge. To add to this, all the names that you listed for senior member's are not exempt to the lack of knowledge category as we are all learning every day here on the forums wether it's electrical theory or fiberglassing dashes. If you see some of the senior member's posting incorrect answers, by all means, post a rebuttle. There's no need to be shy & you know we won't bite if someone challenges our opinions, we will just present our side in a different light or we will admit we were misinformed.Jeff

i appreciate the maturity on this website and the way idea's are challenged rather than character assasination's and name-calling that you'll find on other sites. Prove your connections, use a meter!

I promise, I'll behave!
