Posting a problem on a forum only to realize that the answer is ridiculously simple and you were probably just thinking to hard about it...then it makes you look stupid.

Shows that aren't demo friendly... Kinda defeats the purpose. No disrespect to the hosts but you figure they could find a better venue after 7 or 8 yrs in the same spot with the same problem.

AMT's and Planars

I hate when you ask for a price at a local shop and when you tell them you can get it cheaper online they get pissed. lol Just have more competitive prices with the online prices. You will get more business. At least from me anyways. lol

Example:

In Store-Incriminator Death Row $499

Online- $378

Also, when people get offensive with noobs. the question may seem dumb to you, but for a new guy/girl it may make perfect sense because they don't know. That's why they joined the forum. To learn more!!!! lol

When someone says someone has the loudest system in your area and having your car messed up so you can't prove em wrong. I mean I know I'm not THAT loud but I have heard the system they are talking about. Two diamond 12's on a boss amp. Its a friend of mine that has it.

This shit right here. My buddy came back from school one time (we go to diff colleges now) and I couldn't demo cuz my car was fucked up. Of course I get it fixed the day he leaves.

But my favorite is when you go into a shop and they LIE straight to your face because they think you don't know better.

I had a guy tell me that I should get a Polk 600w mono. I told him my subs were 600wrms eachand he said, (and I quote) "that's a common misconception. People think the power just gets magically divided but it doesn't. If you have a 600 watt amp it will push 600 watts to both of your subwoofers." After I said I've never heard that he goes on to say "And also subs don't last very long. A good pair of 12"s should last about a year if you treat them right."

None of that was made up. That's why I don't go to shops anymore.

I'd have to add going to an audio shop and trying to talk to them about the big 3 and they look at you like WTF is that and respond "i've never heard of the big 3??"
