The test is difficult if not impossible for a nocive, but fairly straight forward for an experienced professional. Here's the details for you. Good luck!

Basic electrical theory and car audio troubleshooting (kind of like what we do on here every day.) Here's the overview of the basic exam: http://www.ce.org/certifications/mecp/about_exam/basic_installer.asp

Hmm, I know there are annual dues to be a member of CEA (usually the company you work for joins) but I don't believe the exam certification expires... or does it? Hey all you professional car audio installers, what's the scoop on this one?

Ketel22, having watched your posts over the past several months, I have seen that you do a lot of research in figuring possible solutions to questions, and have a good sense for troubleshooting. I would say that you are well on your way to becoming a good audio tech.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
