i worked at best buy this past holiday season in the car audio sales department (my roommate at the time was the hiring director). yes, there are a few retarded 18 year olds working that don't know much and didn't care to but there were also some well knowledged guys that did want to actually help people out, and i will give it to their install bay, which our whole team was all well knowledged and trained. the only exception was the trainee, who was another punk kid who didn't really care. but it was fun trying to help people out who came in looking for actual help. and we did have some decent alpine, rockford, pioneer, and infinity stuff... and since i was in a rich location, it was easier to sell the high best buy prices.

long story short, not all best buy car audio guys are retarded, but they are there. it just depends which best buy you go to and what day you walk in. my personal advice would be to ask to talk to their install guy if the sales rep didn't seem qualified. i'll probably go back next holiday season (i had to leave to go back to school, they wanted me to stay though)

and unless you know exactly what size fuses those are and if it's really out of proportion to whats needed, its not that big of a deal to start a whole thread bashing.

Yea, we're just joking around, busting balls. I don't think any of us are that harsh to over-generalize like that.
I can honestly say though that at my Circuit City, the one main sales rep is a real dick. lol

I've seen amps that have 2 20 amp fuses and 1 2 amp fuse, so it's totally possible.

BTW, I am an installer at BB. But, I hate the place.

guys, i am not really "bashing" BB, im just saying, that this just adds on to the typical BB antics.. also im more than sure that some Best Buy's have some knowledgeable people. also, come on people.. if this was your shop, would any of your amps be like that? or any amps in your ride? sure, maybe at a comp, and a fuse blew and thats all you had.. but i Highly doubt any of us are going to have a fuse setup on our amps like that.. we all know why you dont run fuses that arent recommended.. also the amp you are referring to with like two 30's and a single 2 amp fuse or whatever, the little fuse is probably for a fan or some neon lights or something... i wouldnt mind working at BB, sure it isnt as good as owning or working at a "real shop" but its just the fact that i would be working with car audio, i think sometimes people forget that they even are in it for fun, and take it way to seriously..

No, they are being serious. lol. Some amps may come with two different values. I believe the fuse values add together. So if you needed 32A of fuses, you would have to do a 30A and a 2A since they don't make 16A fuses :) At least, that I know of.
