hell no, I bet when gary biggs was on there it was a good install. I also heard through the grapevine that biggs said reme(?) is a damn good installer. So it has to be that punk Castro causing all that crap. Thats terrible!! I don't even use duct tape on an install and I'm an Okie! I do carry a roll of it in my truck though

I never even considered using duct tape on an install. I have used plumbers tape for a few things. And even an occassional piece of electrical tape. Although, one role of electrical tape lasts me like 10 years or more. Unless I loose it before then. Oh and zip ties. I like to zip tie things. lol.

I had to fire my installer, I found Ducttape on the back of my crossovers at a show...and I nearly lost because of that.
But now I have a better installer, one who will go to Finals with me this year. As we take both our vehicles.

Same here. On a normal remote start, I will use atleast a roll of electrical tape, if not more. We go through a box of 10 rolls of electrical tape about every 3-4 days. Lots of remote starts, and in general, just lots of stuff that needs to be hardwired in.
