I was expecting to see my install (JK--duh!)


And by the way, isn't the fuse supposed to be no more than 18 inches away from the battery? That fuse is located in the trunk... Did the SC have a really short wheel base one year?


That is a very bad install.

...but we don't know for sure since there is no pic of the engine compartment on the auction web site. Here's a closeup of that area:

Looks like he's got everything in there but the kitchen sink... no, there's the sink!

Seriously... could that stuff stick out any further?

Yea, looking at the bad coordination, it seems as if he jacked all the stereo equipments from various cars and just crammed it all in

Your right about the fuse being up front but that's a distribution block in the back for splitting the power line to smaller gauges for more then one component. But i don't see the use in that picture.

They should have a special on channel 5 or something, 'when good installs go bad.'

Hey it beats having a factory system in your car. I am really picky about what is done to my car. It has to be perfect or it isn't for my car. That is why I do everything my self. But on other people's cars I don't really care as long as it works and doesn't look too bad

Ryan, i'll be down your way in 1 1/2 weeks, goin' to Charlotte, i'll stop by if I get a chance, assuming you're still workin' for Lexus, or haven't defected to Johnson.

The non-brass area in the center of the block is where the glass fuses are. It is probably there to split the power to a 2nd amp that we don't see, behind the woofer box. Here's a diagram of a similar block, from the "Amplifiers" section of the excellent eatel basic electronics web page (http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm):
