I love it when they say that!! ha ha ha

Or, all the wires in the molex plug on the back of a stock radio
attached to the little 1/8 pins with bare, uninsulated alligator clamps


The best one I have seen is from about 20 years ago, a couple of brothers
(who still shop here today) had wired up an amplifier in the back of the
van that one of them had.... They were so proud of it they wanted me to
hear how great it sounded so they took me outside to hear it....

In the old days the panel vans were real popular, and the woof paneling
on the inside made a decent place to put 6 inch speakers... this amp was
hooked to the two rear speakers....

I listened and it played so I told em it sounded good (it was ok I guess)
and they proceded to take me to the back of the van and open the back
doors... They told me that needed to purchase some speaker wire from
me....

HA HA HA HA HA HA

I looked into the back of the van and there were short speaker wires
coming from the left and right speaker directly to the amp and the
amp was HANGING IN MID AIR BY THE SPEAKER WIRES!!

JUST HANGING THERE!!!!
SWINGING BACK AND FOURTH!!!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA

Thats an install I will never forget...
