kids that arn't happy with their current subs so they buy "better" subs and put them back in their old shitty sealed box and wonder why its not any louder.

kids that say "i don't know why people say Best Buys sucks.... because Best Buys is great!"

that kid that asks you to "tune" his amp, so you turn his gain down off of max until you don't here any distortion. then the kid says "what the fuck are you doing its to quiet." so he turns his gain back up and everything sounds like shit all over again.

i hate when people try to one up you with someone elses system. a buddy of mine was telling his friend about my car and the kids response is his friend is loud with his 2 12s because he said he had to replace all his windows(mind my buddies friend never heard my car) dry.gif

there's always a friend who is louder haha

And I need a link to ur build log!

i actually dont have one lol. the pics didnt survive the building. may they R.I.P.

i just read a thread where a guy said he was charged 60 bucks to get his amp scoped at his local Car Audio Shop. <_<

Yep, sounds about right.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

better than a shop around here...they charge 30 and all they do is tune it by ear...and no theyre far from qualified to even attempt this lol

This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned

I love the shop near me. They are a DC dealer and have oscopes and a DD-1 and will tune any amp for free, at least they will for me. :)

That's nice of them. But there are a lot of times when a shop needs to watch its overhang and knowledge and equipment aren't free. I don't charge $60 to scope but I think its a fair price.

Imagine, people are already saying you can borrow their DD1s and pay half shipping for $20-$25. For not much more, no hassle, and you let qualified people use accurate methods to correctly set your gains. Remember, if you can't do...you have to pay someone who can.

Plus...$60 < X. And X is the price of blown equipment.
