Steve, remember the douche bag shops giving you a hard time on the Car Sound forum... they were hiding this from you I think all shops need to be certified compliant to some freaking standards...looks better, though the audio system is worth more than the car

+1 for someone else server, we host of 200 url's and website data on 1&1 with server backup... phenomenal support, 0 issues in 7 years. Now our internal server for email... that POS is always whacked out, we resorted to IM for communicating between the staff

Thanks, they earned it this year, both are doing very well in school and seemed to balance football (6 days a week), homework, school, chores, and a life without screwing up. Both were captains of their teams, and one made defensive player of the year... They made me proud... and Santa repaid them

Here is a quick pic I took on Xmas... eventually the wall paper and paneling will come down when we renovate the basement, but they could care less I also made them the shadowbox for their football jerseys while at work, just have to hang them up.

Much not mouth... spell correct

They pretty mouthed freaked out, it took them a moment to figure it out, as their other Xbox is broken and they both received the same game.... I will let them rock it for a day before I lay some rules down, as I should of got them some depends diapers. But they were happy, thanks for the input from the few that responded. I will get some pictures later, the place is a mess now and don't want to embarrass myself

They are 12 and 13 and fight if the other one looks at the other wrong... I will put up a divider if all hell breaks loose. they are going on the wall I bought another wall divider to mount the wiiu in between them , separated by about 3' between each screen I thought about it, on Sunday I can kick them out and I can watch 3 NFL games at the same time... too bad the season is almost over... or over after tomorrow...

What no gamers? I decided last night looking at it just to mount on the wall and separate them as far as I can. I will take the other screen they currently have and mount that one in between them so they can have the wiiu on it. I found some game center chairs at target yesterday for $99, has a swivel and speakers built into it plus arm rests that fold out of the way. Im done with it, I have quite a few things to set up on xmas eve and trying to make it as quick as possible.

well I have several questions setting this up, I am no gamer so hopefully I can find the answer here with someone that had to share with a sibling. I got them each their own big screen and Xbox connect, turtle beach headphones, and a gaming chair. 1) do I mount on the wall and separate them by about 6' or back to back? do I mount table height with the stand since the chair is lower, or on the wall with the connect piece above it? definitely need some help here as I don't want to screw it up since I have younger kids also I have to set it up xmas eve when they go to bed so I have a 4-5 hour window... I am just going to wrap the headphones and put them under the tree and set up the xboxs in the basement for more of a surprise. sorry it is one continuous paragraph but my tablet (surface) doesn't let the return button work ?!?!

Great! Love seeing quality builds

Nice Jon! See you at CES?

call me Mr. QA, but the trim shroud is scratched around the eq and the radio looks like it has some gaps,

By "hustling" I mean busting your arse! There is other expenses as insurance, licenses, taxes, rent/mortgage, loans, payroll, more taxes, etc... Sad that you would refer to Houston as a dope city, i am sure all the hard workers there would have a different opinion

I know a guy that built his empire on hustling flea markets, Daddy-O's car audio in Jacksonville Fl. The man would work 20 hours a day 7 days a week. However with the cheap shit, comes many boomerangs, be prepared for a lot of shipping back and forth. With cheap shit, the only person making money is UPS Further, with cheap shit comes low profit margins to stay competitive with other people and online sales. so for every JL speaker the competition sells, you will need to sell 2-4 cheap-o's to equal his profits. Definitely take business class, maybe something else will come to mind seeing that car audio isn't a get rich quick business.

Also look at the population, what type of vehicles are being driven around down, to help find your audience. If you are only catering to a market of 50k people, and half of that is elderly or juvenile, you really limited your ability to make money, also if the cars are POS's, give up before you get started. as someone posted the labor is where the money is at, it pays for a lot of shop expenses including payroll. get a few business classes first, it is a must and an eye opener. You would need to work on a business plan also.
