I love installing car equipment, and if I had time to get a job I would. But to be certain it is something I want to do, can anyone out there tell me a general salary if I were to work part-time installing at a shop? I know it depends, but in your experience what has it been?

the shop i work at is commission , but i am also gaurenteed 350 a week if i dont make more than that, say for exp; if it rain all week or is just slow.i still make something. but usally u get someone whio whanted it done yesterday so ill work all hours to get it done. i have the best luck with custom speaker boxes. i guess al the big boys around here dont like to make them so it bring me good buisness. u can turn 38 dollars of material into a 200+ dollar box.. just something to think about. also learn to use a multimeter. it preety easy and can tell u alot without frying things.
