Car Audio Related Injuries

Recommended Posts

Nothing more than minor cuts, scrapes, and pinches here - mainly from removing panels. Sliced my finger somewhat with a utility knife once, wasn't fun.

Anyone else have any other interesting injuries sustained during installation?

Sliced fingers open w/ razors, burnt myself a few times with my soldering gun. I also stapled my hand with an industrial stapler. I had a friend (well not really a friend) trip over an extension cord for my drill and land his hand on a rusty nail.

Not a whole lot else besides a few cuts and bruises.

Well, other than the hearing issue :D I will always have a nasty case of tintinus. Maybe they will develope ear replacements in the future. As for physical injuries just cuts and bruises from panels, little strands of wire sticking into the tips of fingers, slicing myself applying Dynamat Xtreme (very sharp edges) and a few other miscellaneous scrapes and cuts. No broken bones or anything though.

Also lots of eaten up fingertips from twisting wire to make it a lil thinner to make it fit in push terminals, or screw down better in terminals of amps.

Also chronic nose drip in winter from the bass messing with the nasal hairs lol.

Ouch. When I stapled my hand, I had the stapler backwards and it went into the palm of my hand. I have a little nerve damage from that. I should have been taking my time and paying attention.
