Things that piss you off in the Car Audio world.

When I walk into a POS shop looking for any kind of job and they ask me if i know how to wire up remote starts. I proceed to outline exactly how its done despite never done one before (though i have studied schematics for them) they tell me "No No No it's way more complicated than that..." >.> really? wiring and schematics is what i do... I then ask them if they had an O-scope for checking distortion levels once they hook up an amp... "No we don't, we can hear the distortion and we set everything up by ear..." I knew the were well and truly full of BS after that and walked out....

"... what you have to do is look up the make and model of the car, and order the plug in harness. It takes 2 days and it adds so much paperwork."

I absoulutely HATE using Tee nuts for woofer mounting sometimes... I hate when you get almost all of the tee nuts in and 2 or 3 wont line up for some reason or when your threading them in and the nut comes loose and the bolt just spins and you cant remove it... Thats what I have to look forward to next week when I need into the box... sigh

Loctite or gorilla glue 5 minute epoxy.

Use that to hold those t-nuts in.

Makes a whole world of difference.

I hate when I finally have time to rip my car apart, deaden, replace door speakers and HU on the weekend and the fucking car goes nuts on the way home! Gotta wait a week till it's fixed and won't have time to do anything for like a month!!!

I buy new 6.5's for my 51 and they don't fit the kick I built!

I have to listen to AM Talk radio because the stock radio in my 3kgt is fucked!

want to build an enclosure for the pre-order 8's and the weather sucks!

I am just pissed about audio all together today.lol

I hate MDF dust. Holy shit I forgot how bad that stuff is. Took me a full day to clean my garage of that stuff and it seems like a day after I clean it all, another layer of dust ends up on everything in the garage the next day. :glare:

$$$$ everything costs so much... and people who are in my high school and their parents buy them really expensive systems and they know nothing about their system nor did they participate in an part of the design or build of the system (not to mention the insanely expensive cars that those systems are in)

Yeah, I feel you there man. Just remember it's all about the install.. least you know what your doing and what the systems capability is.. while there stuck hmm.. seems like I can turn this all the way up (turns up gain) and it gets louder! VOLUME KNOB woohooo. -_-

Wait why is it making that noise i just turned a couple nobs to the max lol :rofl:

Lol, when it took you 5 hours to download decaf music from uTorrent, 2 hours to transfer 1,289 songs made by Decaf on your Sony Walkman and you plug it up to your headunit using the aux jack (Cuz your hu sucks and doesn't have a USB dock) and it's making low, annoying crackling noise when you have the sony walkman paused.

New build coming soon. [center][url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/sigtoo.jpg/"][img]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9541/sigtoo.jpg[/img][/url][/center]

WTF, Why argue? You heard both, and you both know what's up, what's said is irrelevant.
