Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

As soon as I get out of the Air Force I'm heading back to Michigan to open a store there. Like Sinister, the area is in dire need of knowledge and better equipment. And, there are plenty of rich kids around there to pay for it. There isn't a single audio-dedicated store. There are three places to get car audio: Wal Mart, a place that specializes in home audio and T.Vs, and a CD store that sells some car audio in the back corner. Oh, they built a Rex now and I think they sell car audio too. That's it. For at least 50 miles in any direction.

well that all comes with time. I used to own a coustic rta-33 and would tune my car myself, but when it all comes down to it...in competition lanes, no matter what you have for equipment, tuning will make or break you.

alright. tuneing can make sonys sound like dls and dls sound like sonys. thats what makes or breaks an install and a competion car. i wish i had the ability to tune but i just dont have the experience to be great and i dont have an rta.

well I am still pondering on sending my car out to see you in the future for some lambo doors, so who knows....
I would love to hear some dls too. I am still considering the quote on the tweets so don't count me out on this one yet.


btw, for the competition season, I have a few well known guys who are going to be tuning my car. My rep is pissed, but he will have to understand, unless he is as knowledgable as these two are, there won't be any way I will be having him tune it.

theres nothing wrong with pioneer

the highest stuff in this area before my store opened was rockford. i am the only shop in watertown that has comps on my display board now isnt that just pathetic. if some people who think they actually have a great sounding car and heard some dls or somethign they would shit their pants. this area is in need of a great car audio shop like mine, lucky i opened. id really like to here your ride. i have heard great things about audison but have got a chance to check them out yet and focal is great just havent got to hear them yet. im running with an eclipse too though 8443 its not the highest but it was the highest the store carried and they wouldnt order me anything higher cause they dont like eclipse and they wanted me to buy a pioneer just a regular one too. it would be very cool to have a national meet.

Shoot, if there is such a thing as a Car Audio Central "National Meet", I would be happy to bring my car out. The system is all "high end" stuff, and when properly tuned, it will make you drool.

actually i think mc stuff is some of the most sexy audio equipment that you can buy and im a young guy well pretty young 21. its tuff to sell the good stuff that i got now. i think i have sold more crunch then hifonics and autotek combined. its hard to convince people these days. it would be a dream of mine to be able to have that level of equipment in my shop i might just become a dealer for them sometime when im a head just to have the stuff.

I think it's definitely subjective at some level.

I was just thinking about power supply issues in multi-channel amps and channel separation. Why not use one two channel amp per side of the car rather than left and right? Or in my case, mid and tweet. Usually in people's wiring diagrams they run tweets on one amp or front speakers on one amp, then mids or rear speakers on another amp. I was thinking of using a two channel amp for the left mids and tweet and another for the right. The only channel separation issues I'd have would be with my HU. None from the amps. Is there a reason this would be a bad idea?

I know this is a bit off topic from what OnYrMrk just mentioned and I don't mean to detract from that, I just didn't want to start a new thread for that though.

I can fully appreciate what he's talking about. I like to think I can hear the difference from good to bad, but I'm not sure that I could tell the difference at that level. I don't believe I've ever had the pleasure to sit in a car with that level of equipment. Most of the stuff at the CES show while I was there was SPL. Nobody I know runs that level of stuff. I hope I do get that opportunity one day.

not much better than the good ole flame Q!!!
