Not so much worried about the piece of paper I can get that over Internet. My question is more for people who have attended or decided not to attend. More interested in the fabrication and interior class. But I do see where your coming from it's not cheap. Learning from Steve would be a badass experience but be real he's got a family and job I'm sure if he was trying to be an instructor and make money off of it he would advertise.

creyc Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 The thing you'll never get from reading forums is EXPERIENCE. Look around at your local audio installers. For the most part you can get by with very limited actual audio knowledge, its all about experience and what you can/have done.

brewer_brewer Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 those schools are cool but they do limited things in limited time and cost money get a little side job at a local shop and you'll be exposed to alot more and learn alot more Quote REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownSouthCustom Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah I have been told that at this place my experience would be mostly limited to my own vehicle. That would be all right but I know my truck pretty good already. I have a tax id and do installs on the side but only about 10-15 installs a month and usually its just basic setups. A good friend said he could get me on part time at the shop he worked at so Im thinking about working there part time would just be busy as f*uck. But it would get my hands on a whole lot more vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
