Why do people argue on car audio forums more than other forums?


Recommended Posts

I am curious about this phenomenon of people arguing on car audio forums. Not just this one but every car audio forum that I have visited. I have worked in the car audio industry since 1989 and although I left the industry a couple years ago I like to stay current on what is out there. I have many other interests as well and I am active on those forums as well.

Jeep forums

Deisel forums

Hot rod forums

Arguments on any of these other forums are rare yet arguing on car audio forums seems to be the norm. Occasionally we get the old guys arguing with the young guys on the hot rod forums about small vs. big wheels. When I started in car audio it was a community (even though there were no forums at the time) but it seems like it has become a brand war. Which is pretty funny since 80% of the industry consists of meciocre product and the other 20% are good products that only 12 people know about.

I am curious to hear what others think about the car audio community and why it is so popular to argue about what brand you think is best and how much you know vs someone else.

And so it begins, lol. If we can't argue about brands lets argue about why someone posts what they post, LOL. Read the forum category, "randon, misc posts".

why do so many people make threads that have no definite answers?

I don't see much arguing. But then again I don't really go in any other section besides this one :lol2: from what I gather, this is one of those things where people tend to think they know their shit when they actually don't and spread bad advice constantly and won't listen to what people have to say who actually knows what they are talking about.

Imagine on the diesel forum that 20 times a day somebody states that its okay to put gas in a Diesel engine and gets pissed when you say that's not true and this happens every day with a new misinformed person. Would get old after awhile right? Shitty example but I'm sure you catch my drift
