Things that piss you off in the Car Audio world.


Recommended Posts

fixing others "work".

This a hundred times. Used to piss me off to no end when a friend would come over with an install, and whether I really felt like it or not at that moment I tore into it with them to fix the shit, cause I just can't have my boy driving around in a Car-B-Que waiting to happen, or about to burn down his newly installed equipment.

Getting jaded. You reach a point, some more quickly than others, where any system you put together isn't good enough. It's always more, more, more, louder, louder, more bass, more bass, more equipment, more money. Why can't any of us just be that guy that puts a system together and is happy cause it's good enough?

To add to my previous post, friend came back over so I could finish fixing his radio ( guy he bought his jeep from put the radio in, not him) and I redid the power and ground. Guy that put the radio in used solid wire like in houses. Really wtf?

companies that do nothing for the industry.

local shops overcharging people out the ass and doing shoddy installs.

people that ask me how much I have in my install and see how well it was installed compared to theirs.

like the rest of you guys, fixing other peoples messes.

that's half way me and bighossf150.

I drove around with my amp at 1/2 on on a stock on with no big 3, playing WAY the fuck below my tuning for a solid 2 months. No fucks given. Bighoss plays 20hz all the time with a single alt on 4 bc3500's, 11.0v demos lmfao. Love it though. Gotta balls the fuck up anymore, hell I have a Singer 220a now and I still demo in the low 12.0v range at idle bc I don't feel like revving my car up.

then you got guys like swordlordboy that monitor every little aspect of his system but randomly drops a woofer an hour into a show.(turkey drag)
