  1. And about car shows we don't have many maybe a couple year, and are the business classes really worth doing?
  2. I wasn't trying to say "same shit" as in its garbage it's just that's all they sell no lower end stuff. Like if you buy a sub/box and amp maybe get some door speakers in the deal they just have nothing like that and just don't seem to care about customers at all. I mean if i could start out carrying Alpine and JL, that would be great but i'm pretty sure they want you to be well established so i would be thinking something like RE and Audioque or Sundown. For vehicle population there's lots of trucks cause this is hillbilly central lots of decent cars nothing like Beamer's, Benz's or Jag's i mean there are some here just not many assuming we have none of those dealers here. but i see where you're coming from on the hustling cause in Houston it was just so different than here that's all it was and days there were just so hectic as was the flea market i worked at. But shit as for being on forums as you can see i have no more than 50 posts and don't get on here much so that shouldn't be a problem i'm just more worried about people going online and not locally.
  3. So i live in wyoming and have been thinking about opening up a car audio shop but would like some input. I mean it wouldn't make me rich but think it could make a living. I used to work at the only shop in this town (other than bestbuy) and we only sold JL, Alpine, and Memphis, some JVC and Kenwood as well as DEI products anyways this shops been around for 15 years and has never changed their line of product so this town has seen the same shit. And i mean this place has no deals ever, almost no advertisement, no website, and the owner is a 70yr old stubborn and rude old man who can never do a favor, he's all about his money, and isn't negotiable at all and I always had people asking me to do stuff on the side because no one likes dealing with this guy and i'm sure the only reason they do sometimes is because he's the only shop in town. and around nearby towns. My plan is to of course start out small but carry a little bit of a wider variety such as a low end line of products and a higher end to start of with. The low end is something they don't have so many people go to pawn shops, Walmart, or just go online. Many people just want bass now on a budget no one seems to care what's named brand or not so the being said i would carry something like Prestige alarms, and DEI alarms. So with all this being said do you guys think car audio shops are just dying cause of online superstores or is it just this old man's shop that's falling apart? I mean i moved to Houston for a while and god damn that shit was busier than a damn Walmart! I just dont know if its the cliental thats down there or if its variety and how cheap stuff is down there?
  4. im no huge fan of putangs but these new ones are looking pretty tasty.. especially the shelby. goodstuff!
  5. no idea.. haven't had any reason to get ahold of him since i moved. Other than the shop which toofast4u knows where its at. I did little amount of work but what i did wasn't what i wouldve really had done i just thought i'd learn something by helping around but noooope....
  6. i feel i need to come on here and say something. i worked on your charger. i'd like to apologize for leaving it looking like that i tried changing his mind on a lot of things but nothing helped and i was also only helping. I had no idea he was a scammer. since i moved to houston i met up with him and didnt seem like a bad guy and he had me helping out at his shop which i thought was cool until we finished this charger and i saw he really wasn't what he said he was... Oh well glad i never got anything from him and sorry about all this shit toofast4u
  7. So i recently just moved to houston and was wondering where all the bassheads are?? I'm living off FM1960. Moved here from Wyoming and am wondering if anyone would wanna meet up and give me a demo of some buck nasty bass?
  8. Placed my order can't wait to get this and fine tune my setup!!! Got my hopes up for that amp
  9. So i've been rebuilding a 4age out of an AE86 and went to do my first start when my whole motor didnt wanna turn. Turns out my ARP head stud sticks out too far which caused my dizzy's shaft to bent and catch in the head and also broke a good couple chunks out of the cams dizzy teeth. In the photo below there is almost a whole tooth missing, one with a smaller piece out of it and one thats cracked and I'm wondering if with those chipped teeth will i be alright or am i gonna need a new camshaft? I have plenty of money into this build already so i'm already leaning towards a new one it's just it'll be a while, and would like some input... THANKS
  10. I wouldn't go SPL i would also put something smaller in there... I'd rather just hear the motor since its right behind your head
  11. You should try sending it in to this website. Rapid Repair
  12. Alright I'm gonna with the XXX's and as for amps. I think i'm gonna go with a T40001bd for 2 subs and a T20001bd for the 3rd one and doing 1 HC1400 for a battery replacement and 3 kintetik HC2000 power cells. Sound alright?
  13. Exactly, it might not be a super blue tint but it has a small amount of it. So if you want best light output go 6k.
  14. I'm not saying not to get the 8k's just letting him know that the higher the number the less light output. I have 10k's on mine and love them.
  15. Your Integra already has projectors and as for the angel eyes, you can find those on ebay , and as for the 8k's being too bright they'll be fine. The higher the number the less light output. So a 6k will be much brighter than a 8k. So if your looking for best lighting then i'd get the 6k's but if you want the bluish color then go with the 8k. Here's a kelvin chart to help you understand a bit.
  16. Alright sorry for basing my choice on videos, and yes i know its gonna be difficult, and yes right now i'm planning everything out, i'm not gonna get everything right now, i'll buy it piece by piece. Yes i'll need a higher amperage alternator and probably dual alternators, and yes several batteries and lots of wiring. I just wanted some opinions of people who've actually have heard both. And to get this all straight the its the old XXX vs. the newer btl? or older btl?
  17. Thanks Roscoe, that's what i wanted to read haha, If someone could please post a good video of the XXX cause youtube has no real good ones. Or maybe a link to a good one... I can't seem to find any i like.
  18. Money isn't really an issue i just wanted to know if paying that much more the sub would be better cause higher price doesn't always mean better. I'll have to wait until i'm home to watch some youtube videos of the XXX... damn school. haha thanks for all the replies.
  19. ^I highly doubt that haha but I'm from wyoming. Anyway near?
  20. I'm getting a blazer here soon and I'm wanting to put 3 15's in it, BUT I've been looking at both the BTL and the XXX. I'm definitely leaning towards the BTL cause of the XXX price and also way more postive feedback on the BTL but then again nothing bad on the XXX. But anyways I need some opinions on which route to take. THANKS
