In my travels across the USA I saw some funny things but this tops it.
The story goes like this........Bo the kind heart dude that he is offers to help out a young lad with the installationof his Alpine subwoofers.
The boy bought one of those 10 inch driver sets and retro fitable boxes that can take either a 10 or a 12 inch driver using a large plastic adapter.
So there we are, the three of us in Bo's garage, musing over the driver installation specs, glass of red in hand.
Bo was quick off the mark with the T/L specs, "Yep 33 herts FS it is " from a chart that has the port tuning. The lad was very quiet and maybe gave the impression he was a bit thick or one of those slow country types.
"Okay boy" Bo hollers ..."I got this sus'd out. We don't need to cut the port, this won't talk a jiffy".
So Bo grabs the port and attempts to mount it in the box. he was struggling for a minute or two while I was talking to the Boy about his pickup truck.
Anyways, I said Bo, "give me a look at this thing it don't look right."
So here we are, Bo was trying to fit the round port tube in an oval hole adapter, you know one of those adapters that will only go one way.
"I mean hello, of course it won't fit Dude", me and the Boy just pee'd laughing. I grabbed the right adapter out of the carton and we were in like flynn. I mean Jesus how how long does it take for the penny the drop.
Bo's reaction was shall we say embarrasing, "you Dang Aussie Blah Blah".
Talk about taking the piss, right in front of the Lad too.
Lucky I was there, it might have been a long night otherwise..
I never heard the end of it all night.....blah blah muhahahahah
This could turn into an interesting thread....
