Default Royally screwed tc audio

Hey guys i took my TC to an audio shop like in october , I had gotten a nonfactory subwoofer installed. Now i want to install a nonfactory deck, i went to take the stuff apart everything came out all good, butt then i i looked to see if the factory wire harness was still there but what they had done was make my rear and front speakers both front, and my rear wires are sending the sub signals..,, I was uninformed they were going to cut my factory wireharness. I paid $150 to get the subwoofer installed luckily i still have my recieit (forgive my spelling) what do you suggest i do? should i complain? or should i just do it myself? i dont want them to mess it up any further. give me your opinions. thanks.

Yeah i brought my car to my friend at mobile one here in New Orleans and he just had me pay for the RCA adaptor that you just splice onto a set of speaker wires. BUT i do beleive they tried to take my radio out because ever since i brought it to them NOW my radio door makes noise so i have a peice of paper wedged between it so it doenst squeek. OH and that lil adaptor only cost me 20 bucks

Sounds like they live up to their name.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I hope they make it right for you.

I hope that was a true line level convertor and not simply an RCA adaptor!!! RCA connections on amps, etc are used to accept line level signals only. High level speaker outputs wired into these connections will destroy the input amp section if the volume is turned up very much at all!
