The previous owner of my car had a Pioneer AVIC N1 installed by Circuit City. I knew they were careless when I saw that they pried off the trim panel and damaged the dash with a screwdriver. But that doesn't compare to their wiring job. One day while changing my tire I found the amp they installed. Not only was it lying on top of the spare not secured to anything but they were running all four speakers off of a two channel amp (which in itself isn't terrible) but they completely left the cars built in sub woofer disconnected. Along with many other bare wires that were periodically grounding themselves. I also found that they broke 90% of the attachment points to the cars inner trim pieces that they removed to run the cables.
Not to mention they used a $50 Two channel Target clearance rack amp to provide power for a $3000 head unit, all interconnected with MONSTER CABLES!!!!! Awesome. So now I am in search of a nice compact 5chan amp.
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.
