So I had a buddy come out to hang today. He just got a 10" kicker with a 1000 watt amp, pretty nice setup. Well him and another friend already hooked it all up, it worked and all but I immediately saw that he had his system control wire hooked into the power port on the amp then to the port where it plugs in. Kind of weird so I said lets run your wire to the radio then it'll automatically turn off. So we got it all torn down and I begin looking at the wiring. He still has a stock radio so it doesn't have auxiliary ports. Instead they cut the ends off the auxiliary wire and taped it to the speaker wires coming off the harness. I barely pulled on it and it pulled out. I told him to wait until he can get a converter so it can be safer. So to put an end to this, if that positive wire would have popped out and hit metal, it could've shorted out and possibly blow the amp or worse cause a fire. I did right didn't I? I mean the way they had it wired was almost scary lol it wasn't even soldered... just taped
