Things that piss you off in the Car Audio world.


Recommended Posts

People that ask you to suggest equipment for a loud setup but at the same time they don't want to spend any kind of big money

This right here for sure. This comes up a lot because I have friends who sit in my car and are like, "I wanna be loud!" Then when I tell them it might cost them a grand for everything, equipment, enclosure, install accessories, and labor at a shop, they are like, "I don't have that kind of money man, I was wanting to keep it cheap."

This is a hobby where you have to be willing to spend, IMO. If you aren't willing to shell out the cash you will never be happy, because you definitely get what you pay for with car audio.

5 runs of speaker wire through the door grommet. Talk about a tight fucking fit.

5 runs of speaker wire to each front door with NO grommets that you can use.

Idk if it's already been said but ppl who get 2 crappy subs in a prefab box and leave everything else stock but go around talking about their amazing system and blaring it way way beyond distortion and acting like it doesn't sound like crap

And people who are always like "I want you to install me a system dawg" and then they're like but then they're like "I don't have any money" <_<

Random pauses in songs right when I get to a group of people that want to hear the system as im driving. Then the bassline will start again right when i past them

I hate this.

Co-workers or family saying its a complete waste of money.

This one guy told me kicker was the best so I agreed so I didn't hafta argue.

X2 on all this lol.

Or when I go to a local shop needing some or a special item Like I went to get 20ft of 0ga wire and some 250amp fuses at a local shop when I was wiring up my bxi2608d. The rep was like what the hell do you need all that for, told him what I was wiring and he's like pfft, those hifonics are junk( I know they're over rated) it probably only does 500 watts, you need to buy this JL 1000/1 (or w/e it was) it'll do double the power of that hifonics junk.

They're always bashing stuff they don't know about. Then dumbass locals with L5s or W3s saying their shit wangs lol.

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

When I get asked about what equipment I recommend, and they tell me they have $1000 budget, I recommend about $500 in amps/mids/highs/subs/hu and spend the rest on power/box/deadener.

After all that they come back after they spent almost their whole budget on equipment, and nearly nothing on install (walmart amp wiring kit and prefab box) then wonder why my factory stereo still sounds better.

:wtf:
