Things that piss you off in the Car Audio world.

When people post videos of their system and dont even bother to put what equipment their running in the description.

Voltage drops piss me the hell off.

Financial issues to purchase more wiring for my big III upgrade so I don't have voltage drops -.-

Trunk space because I can't fit a 2nd RE audio XXX in there -.-

The wait time for AA subs

When someone has something you need, but you have no way to contact them

Yea I heard they are on like a month+ on their build time or something.

People who think that a 1500 watt sub is 1500 watts of output, ignoring the amp

The cumulative cost of the 'little things' like lugs, solder, various bolts, drill bits, grommets, etc

Not having proper box building tools.

When your friend comes up to you and says his Amp isn't working, so you check everything out...just right when you're about to get frustrated and you're about to throw the amp into something hard, you find the remote wire was disconnected the whole time.

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]

When some think Car Audio is stupid and pointless, but they think having High Performance Modifications, and fancy ass rims on their BMW/Mustang their parents spoon fed them to is the most important thing in the world. Speed is equally as fun as Sound in my opinion.

When Home Audio enthusiasts think Car Audio is all noise, and garbage, and just built to be loud.

People thinking dB's will make you go deaf, it's actually distortion. If you listen to a 150 db car with less than 1% thd, you'll be fine, disoriented but fine. Listen to a 150 dB car with 10% thd, and you'll be in the hospital due to your ears being blown out.

I call :bull:

What makes you think that only distortion kills your eardrums? Whatever resonates your ear drum hard enough will make you go deaf. My uncle is 35% deaf in his right ear from fighting in Viet Nam. You think gun shots are distorted?!?

OH, and when people spread mis-truths. The car audio scene is already a joke without stupid people spreading fucking lies and making the whole lot look like a bunch of fucking assholes.

Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
