(d) In my second Independent component I completed 11 jobs, i was aiming for 15 jobs but it just wasn't possible to find them all, I also currently am about to begin 3 custom jobs but where not able to be began on time to be counted in the second independent component.
INTERPRETIVE
Job 1: I installed an alarm system into my uncles Saturn Vue, it took me a while to take apart the dash because of the way it is made, I also specifically remember I accidentally scratched the dash. All the wires where in the back of the centerpiece and the door lock signal was negative, it took a while to find all these wires and adjust the relays to convert the negative signal into a positive signal. It was also the second time I installed an alarm alone.
Job 2: I installed two subs and two midrange speakers with two amps. Corvetts are difficult to take appart in the interior so that took time, also it took me a while to bipass the bose sound system, and when everything was connected there was a problem with fuses and the radio.
Job 3: This was a simple job, all i did was remove the radio and attach an aux and ipod cable, and run the wires into the glove compartment.
Job 4: Here I bipassed a door lock, and installed 4 speakers into a chevy suburban, the door panels are hard to remove and i spent most of my time removing them.
Job 5: I installed subs into this camaro, the wiring was a complete mess and it took some time to figure out, i also had to rewire 2 wires on a separate occasion.
Job 6: Here I installed two subs and an amp into a camry, there was difficulty with the equipment and the stereo.
Job 7: I installed 3 subs an amp and an epicenter into an Impalla ss, it took time to run a 0 gauge wire and then there was a problem with the ohms and the amp.
Job 8: I replaced a radio on a Toyota Tacoma, I accidentally blew out a fuse when I cut the wires but it was an easy fix.
Job 9: I installed a screen radio into an F150, the radio was to big for the dash so i had to cut it in order for it to fit.
Job 10: Here I added a fifth video monitor to a Challenger it was my first time doing it on my own and i had a few difficulties.
Job 11: I installed subs and an amp into a Charger this job is easily done because the battery is in the trunk of the car, little wireing was needed here.
APPLIED
Doing all these jobs has helped me find new techniques and solve issues with system. I have been able to perfect wiring in series and parallel. Thanks to the jobs I did I was able to see different issues and distortion in action, I was able to solve most of the problems and help prevent others. I also used a lot of ground loops and adapted proper ground wires. I also experienced different sub enclosures that sounded better than others, for example the corvett had smaller and less subs than the impala ss but the corvett sounded better because of the enclosure size.
