This is my first post here on SMD. A brief intro, and then we can commence the hazeing ;)

  My name is Matt. I am from PGH PA (yes it's cold here in the winters (yes our football team is lookin bad ( yes I know.. )))

  I have been a car audio enthusiest since age 12 and a audio hi-fi nut since age 6 (although a lot of people don't believe that)

  I picked up my first soldering iron at age 12 (against my dads best wishes) and was repairing amps for the older kids by age 14. At age 17 I designed a coupling horn and was granted a US Patent for it. Although I admit I never did anything with it. It is kinda nice to know other companies out there may be interested in it, but have to wait so many more years before it expires. I also hold several copyrights with the U.S. library of congress pertaining to works involving audio.

  At age 18 I went to school and obtained a piece of paper. They didn't really teach me much I didn't know, but it's a *really* _nice_ piece of paper :D

I currently own/operate 'Audio Doctors' in PGH PA However the website is sad! I also lack any motivation to fix/update it as it's really not linked very well, and has not generated any good amount of new business. But thats OK with me because both myself and my few employees are steady booked with local work. I probably wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had more work.

I have numerous builds under my belt and have put my time in as an installer. However much like Steve I always did it for fun, and never went after any trophies.

I was always a serious SQL guy. My best install was:

4 x JL 18w6 (Man was JL pissed when these were comming back once a week)

4 x Linear Power 8002sw (modded to 4.1HVS and stable to 1 ohm, no Ray didn't do these)

1 x Linear power 5002IQ

12 speaker front stage (assorted goods and crossovers)

Linear Power x02 (burr brown mods / in center console)

5 yellow tops

2 HO alt's (who needs a smog pump?)

H.U. ??? (I ran through a lot of these. Pioneer 5200 was my fav)

Stuffed into an 86 Mustang SVO hatch...

Never metered, and I never cared. hell, I didn't take a whole lot of pictures, but I have a few of them laying around I really should dig up. During that time period you could find me in a movie theatre wearing the 'assisted listening devices' they offer. IR headphones FTW!

I have decided to join after some consideration and browsing. I am a member of other forums but mostly lurk. I try and donate my time to educate when I can, but few people elsewhere seem to be on my level. Or the questions become monotaneous.

Here on SMD I like what I see. I like the group, and I feel like I might fit in best here. It is far more relaxed, and doesn't seem to be riddled with BS marketing tactics and brand pushers. Although I did notice a few, hopefully Steve won't let it get out of hand.

That being said, I have decided to donate some of my expertise where I can in my spare time to help educate and troubleshoot. My field is not limited to amplification but you will find out as we go. I am however by no means an expert in any other field aside from amplification. I can not give away my trade secrets, or tell you how to fix/mod your amplifier. But believe me that still leaves a lot of areas I _can_ help with.

I am not here to troll for business. I am plenty busy when I go to work. If you have a problem, or in a desperate situation for whatever reason you can always drop me a PM. If your a nice guy/gal in a bad place (ie. finals in a week, two blown amps) We might be able to help.

I am brutally honest. So if you ask for my opinion on your amp just by looking at it (which really isn't enough, but i'll try), be prepared to hear the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. I won't care if you built it yourself, or if your selling it. If your worried, don't ask ;)

  I don't take sides, and I don't push brands. Consider me unbiased.

All that aside. I need to start 'pounding' out some posts!

- Matt
