I have VERY basic knowledge of car stereo (ie, HU's, speakers, amp wiring) and I was curious as to what I would need to get started in the business, so I could get something like a part-time job as an installer? Thanks

My friend had very basic knowledge....could do a deck+4 speaker install, but I had to wire up his subs and amps. He went in to the local Circuit City and got a job as an installer with only that knowledge. Scary.......
