Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

i still dont know why they want me i think its kinda weird what they want me. they want me to do some alram/remote start installs and that was a big deal for them and i wasnt to big on that and i told straight out i have never done any before and that was cool with them. if i did the only way i would do it is if i could bring elevation/dls/bravox with me they are my favorite and they have jl rockford alpine dyna which is good but everything else is run of the mill.

sometimes when you own a shop and stuff is slow or get some stupid people in that you want to power bomb through a table you just want to pack up and head out. but when its going good and the green is flowing like a river and you actually get people in that want cool shit and not kicker everything then its one of the greatest feelings you can have. my big passion is car audio mainly the custom side of and i would fiberglass everything i could but we just have alot of people that arnt very cool about getting away from the wood boc or spending a couple hundred extra for a fiberglass box. and at that place it looks like money is no object but ill most likey stay here.

I get so tired of seeing this "over rated" and "under rated" power crap come up with amplifiers.. I see an astounding number of posts on forums about "is this amp good/underrated?" or "how much does my amp really put out??"

if companies used CEA2006 ratings, we'd all know exactly what they really put out, which would be much more accurate. This is beyond the fact that a very small percentage of people with amplifiers will ever reach even close to peak output with their systems anyway.

ya i dont really like the underrating that some companys do like american bass and the new RF's and the really old ones or the over ratings like sony and what not. ill have to give hifonics a thumbs up because their stuff is pretty much right on the target give or take like 15 watts which is very acceptable.

All I have to say is ... it's damn hot in AZ. I lived there three years. Sierra Vista, a couple hours south east of Phoenix. I went to Phoenix a couple times. Damn!!! As much as I'd love to work in a shop like that, I'd have to pass. And if you're coming from South Dakota ... wow. Big change. Big. You couldn't get me back in AZ.

i can barley handle the heat that we get here in SD and the humidity

pfft
the Brutus 1500 benches at 993 watts RMS.
they're worse than most.

Sinister, don't get too excited about this plae in AZ. They're probably just doing cold call recruiting. They need staff so they're fishing at other shops to get people.
Personally I think it's a pretty underhanded way to go about finding people, but headhunting has been around for a long time, and headhunters make good money.. they get paid to find qualified people for job openings.

ya i wasnt too worried about that job i would rather have my own shop but if all else fails then i could go there. the brutus 1500 was an execption the 1605 was alot better. i wanna see someone bench the maxximus you would only need 11 100amp power supplys.
