Have you ever tried (unsuccessfully) to wire your own system?

What about hiring a CE pro to come out and tackle a complicated wiring job?

While CE pros almost always do great work, there’s always that one installer who just doesn’t care.

Take a mental note of these horrific jobs, and make sure your system never ends up on our list.
