Find where Tim Hortons is

So whats the name of the shop??? and where in Ont is it

we got a co-op kid recently too, he does alot of cleaning and timmies runs :P
Just watch, listen and dont be afraid to ask alot of questions, thats how you learn!
good luck man!

ah yes i too was a timmy hoe' runner and sweeper, if u ever want a really good deal from rob at forbidden bring a frosty from wendys and chocolate chip muffin :smilie_da aint it so rob lol

Speaking of which.....I think it's time that you bring me a frostie and a muffin besnatch.....

First ask if they have access to any installers guides to show you how to take car dashes apart and radios out... That is how I first learned. After you do a few of each type of car/make/model, you no longer have to refer to them. Print the sheets and keep them for future reference.
Also each time you do a car, take notes on:
How you took it apart... to add to the printouts above
What kind of speaker sizes fit... if you have time try different types. Then next time a customer ask if a speaker fits, you can easily say "Yes the Pioneer kevlars fit nice, but the Polk Momos are too big!" etc.
Take pictures of your work... good to show other customers or build up your own portfolio.

Make sure you know the speaker/power etc color codes. or have them handy. Also take notes on wire color codes if you have to do any special installs. It will save time on future work.

When you install door speakers...lower the window to make sure there is clearance!
and.. get a change of clothes... especially in winter.. Cars can be a real mess, with garbage and dirt on the floor.

Have a DMM and know how to use it. Have a 9 volt battery and some aligator leads to find pos and negative of speakers.

Have fun.

What would be some programs for these
