Anyways back to the topic at hand - Ramon buy what you feel your budget can allow. Frank B seems like reputable guy - go to him and get your install done - I think he's in Brantford if I have that correct eh Frank?

I hear ya - another reason why I left $.... I was being interrupted during installs to answer questions - the sales guy should know. The day I quit - I left a 2007 mustang fully apart with only the 4 gauge kit ran. I got a threatening phone call from the district manager to come back and put it back together.
I said sure I'll be there tomorrow - never showed why....see below....

I called the owner prior to leaving told him the situation - and he came by place and I finished the install for a case of beer. He called me back in 2008 when the amp died and I removed it and pointed him in the right(IMHO) direction.

You know, a little empathy for a fellow human being wouldn't hurt every now & again.

I'm sure every sales guy there is taking time off from their day job as a neurosurgeon to shill A/V product right?

They make company policy too right? They don't really have some short dick manager whose sole authority in life is lording it over a group of kid salespeople who don't know any better, or teach them scripts on selling the money maker warranties.

Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age.

it hard to have empathy for big corps - I work for Rogers and despise their service and their conduct.

A lot of people don't take pride in the their work....not naming anyone here...just a general observation.

I wasnt referring to the Mother Corp or head office. Business is dirty, cutthroat, and brutal. Fact of life. Doubly so for Telcoms, Providers, etc.

Was referring more to the bottom guy on the floor making 10 bucks an hour, although sure, some can be so obnoxious you want to drop them on the spot.

none taken lol i personnaly got myself in FS just to open a door into some ( private shop) but they way its going i wont anyway. i give advice and lots of it. i even refer some ppl to this site ( witch i havent seen yet ) to even get better deals ( for example MR2NR )

i love installing and i hate FS lol great job eh hahahaahha i hate management cause they just dont see greatness in ppl and they also dont see that to have ( customers for life as they say ) they dont let me do what i need to do to make costumers happy and make them come back.

PLUS the wage is shitty. im going to go get my AZ and heavy equipment licenses so i can get out of that dump. AND do private installs in my own yard or they'res...... cant wait to get out and tell the manager to shove it LMAO.



BTW the products are allright. some overpriced but allright. it will fit someones need but not all

1) if you tell Bozo the Clown to stick it then its a burnt bridge. No coming back, no reference, etc. Been there, done that. Not worth the 15 minutes of satisfaction imho.

2)AZ..I would go Crane Operator right now. Yes, construction is down, but not nearly as bad as the transportation industry. Transport companies are dropping like flies. The entire industry is going through a major shakeup. May come back, may not.

If you were talking about the AZ just for operating the big toys then obviously I misinterpreted, so disregard
