Unhappy A year after paid off box...total disaster...Need HELP!

Hey guys! Haven't been on SL for a while now, how is everyone? Well as for me, i'm not doing to good with the box... Its been a little over a year since I paid off the 05 box and thats when I really wanted to start getting her to where I wanted it to be. Well, 3 months after I paid her off, accident number one happened...messed up the driver side (got it fixed, but it was a very ____ty job done)....December of 09 accident # 2 happens and this time its the passenger side (slid across median and was "t-boned")...Okay, so once again, this auto shop here SUCKS. So, not relying on anyone else by myself, I NEED HELP! I want to get started with the interior...(I am a TOTAL NEWB at this kind of sh**) I am in desperate need of new tweeters, speakers, HU, and sub... I had ordered 7 SQ10's from eD like 3 years ago, put 2 in and someone "disliked me" and tore them out...sold 2...so now I have 3 left, BUT, all I want is a "stealth" install and was going for the under the seat method...so what I need from you all is recommendations on a nice double-din HU...some good speakers, tweeters, and an amp. Another thing is the front door wiring is MESSED UP, when I unlock the doors, only the passenger, and 2 rear open, the driver I have to manually unlock...I cant unlock any doors from the inside switch, and whenever I close my driver-side door it unlocks&locks all doors 2 times!! So I need any and all help as possible...Sorry for the long message! thanks for reading...

Did you inspect the work done from the autobody shop before you took delivery of your car. You might want to try sueing the shop in small claims court.

I actually didn't inspect it, I was gone to Canada for 2 months to help my sister out and my father was the one that got it "fixed." But the first time it happened I did indeed inspect it and I told him about the problems, but the autoshop dude was being a MAJOR ******** and kept telling me it was already like that, that they "don't touch" already defected parts that were done prior to the accident...:S I was like how and the hell did I do that BEFORE the accident even happened....I didn't know what else to do, and my father was like just leave it alone! looks better then before, you can fix that part yourself "later on"

Did you go through insurance? If you did file a claim with them and have them fight your battle. And second why would you go back to that shop?

All insurance paid for was a bumper..._______s didnt do NOTHING for me....and I didn't purposely choose the same autoshop twice...I was gone to Canada, I didn't know! And I live in such a small town theres 2-3 MAX, and the one on the insurance is recommending that piece of ____ _______ that my dad took it to

oh and did u look at wiring? take panel off maybe there is a chance u can see some of those wires torn or cut, maybe u can just tape them together and it will be an easy fix, or it can be a switch, inspect all doors that dont work.
