Me to, I want some. I heard they do really well at 60 herts 110 volts.

Hmmmm just thought of something. A -60 (aircraft generator) is 115 volts 400herts. I wounder how that would work out. Wait I would need somethig dual voice coil so I can hook up 2 of the 3 phases.

Sorry, TechSys had it right:

www.carsponsorships.com

We inevitably get people coming into the physical shop I work at looking for "sponsorships" (read: freebies ).

And even with a little online company like Better Audio, I've had guys sending me Email after Email, phone call after phone call, with the same thing..

There's only ONE reason why ANY company would sponsor ANY person:
Marketing and advertising value.

The company wants to be able to:
1) talk about (and create ads about) this tremendous accomplishment that some competitor made, using their products
2) get some advertising value, and (if needed) a product-credibility-boost by having the products in a very upscale-looking install (creating that picture that this is the product of choice for the ultra-elite )... from either a competitor that goes to lots of events (read: lots of exposure to potential customers in attendence), or a builder that shows at lots of car shows (read: lots of exposure to potential customers in attendence).

First question out of my mouth whenever ANYONE asks about sponsorship:
"What accomplishments have you made in the show car or competition circuit?"
...to which I usually get the inevitable 'I wasn't expecting THAT question' blank stare.

More amusingly, it's usually quickly followed by something like 'Well, I haven't done much to the car yet... but I'm PLANNING ON doing [insert laundry list here]..."
(what they really mean is "...if I can get someone to give me all that for free" )

Just makes me wonder about people sometimes...
...why do you THINK I'd give you free stuff, Einstein?

"Go accomplish something, and THEN come back to me." :happy055:

I dunno, I might not see the sign...

Now if you tattoo it on her chest then I might remember it...

Works for JL Audio, they've got some HOT representatives

I have a sponsorship from them already the are pretty good.
Try this link to see some of what they have but you can't buy anything unless you are sponsored. http://www.sponsoramerica.com/catalog/

geolemon is correct. Most people only want to get sponsored so they can get free stuff. This is one of the reasons companies have either quit sponsoring or have changed thier outlooks on it (made it harder).

I was partially sponsored by a company (previously mentioned I think). This was before Maxxsonics got hold of them. It was pretty nice but I didnt get freebies. I paid a good discount though. Then they got to where they basically quit paying attention to things (they were undergoing the "buyout"). I asked 2 months before Maxxsonics got hold of them about them selling the company.. Know what they said? NO! that was it, a plain and simple NO. After that reply, they never answered any more e-mails from me.

Needless to say I have no ties with that company anymore. Will I ever try to get sponsored by any comany again? Probably not. I'll sponsor my own vehicle.

That went a little off topic I think. I get asked daily about my company sponsoring peoples vehicles. Now, this is a part time business I run due to working for another company (not car audio related). I ask about the same questions as geolemon mentioned, and know that look (the blank stare) very well.

People don't understand, it's a scratch my back we'll scratch your back thing.
