stupidest things

Post by High Society »

My best buddy tells me "he wants to buy my subs off me. 10's 8's 15, and he's gonna put all in the trunk of his lexus."Plus the two 12's that are already in there.
I say, all that wont fit in your trunk.
He says "then I'll just put them in my back seat"
Makes me laugh every time he says it.
Same friend.
him-it says 1200 watts, why doesn't it put out 1200 if it says it does.
me-cuz those ratings are BS, just so people will buy them
him-got it for 50 bucks so it's still a good deal
me-no you still got ripped off.
And the usual "I can't wait to go buy some audiobahns, there the shit."
another guy I know
him-I'm gonna get 10 10" mtx 9500's, 4 15"memphis subs. ALl in my camaro
me- Is that even possible?
him-ya the guys at the car audio shop said they would build me a box.
me-and your gonna power this with what?
him-probably 4 memphis amps.
me-what ohm load will you be wiring all this to?
him- huh? ohms have nothing to do with car audio
me- ya what was I thinking
him- dumbass
We all know who the dumb ass really is :)
well gotta leave class.

When my kicker amp blew, I called the shop and asked if they had any 600 watt amps.

me-ring ring.
shop-hello
me-I need at amp that will do 600 rms at 2 ohm.
shop-well, I have a bazooka that puts out 600 peak. A concept amp that put out 300 watts peak.
me- *thinking to myself* wtf, I said rms, not peak.
me- so you dont have a 600 watt rms amps?
shop-nothing that big, your gonna be looking at a 700 dollar amp if your gonna get one that big.
me-That big? okay goodbuy

well i sold a couple of flipdowns to a guy today that has a hyandai tiburon, so as i go out to the car to take some measurements there is his girlfriend all bent down doing something by the dashboard where no one can see her....i open the door which apparently scared her and i got a faceful of crack smoke.....


then there is the guy who bought a sub, had us wire the amp and install the hu and door speakers and run all the wires but he was gonna build his own box.......he comes back in (i knew this was gonna be bad but i thought i was fairly helpful in telling him how to build a box) and i go out because he said his sub sounds terrible.....well his box is a baffle where the hole is cut to the outside diameter of the sub so to keep the sub from falling in it is slid over and screwed in with like 3 screws, there is a cut line running from the edge of the very pretty piece of stained and polished oak that he used over to the hole because he didnt think to just drill a hole to drop the saw blade into.......now he wont pay for a box and he wont fix his because its too much work and i wont warranty any problems because of improper installation........

LOL! Thats hilarious. I can't even imagine how f'n awesome that would look. I have a picture in my head but I'm sure it doesn't do the real thing justice. Polished oak...is that anything like ass dark walnut? :)
