Question for Justin from Detroit

wouldn't bother me if you stayed. Just know what is Good, and what isn't. Have you checked out our good bad ugly list in our FAQ's yet? But you say you work in a shop??? Do you carry anything along the lines of arc audio, adire, rainbow, anything like that?

I was being sarcastic Chris, you didn't offend me. On the bright side of things, I am just ten posts from the magic 1000...so I am starting my "Thank You" list already.

DC...I want to thank you for helping me get closer to the 1000 mark too. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have posted the last 3 posts.

Like "Sir" High Society said, we are adults here. We don't put up with young upstarts who start off preachin about the "good stuff" like Audiobahn and SwissAudio (Hope it isn't the knife people). While these brands reach a certain type of enthusiast, they are hardly good.

Just because someone sells the cheaper brands, doesn't make them a bad shop. It is when the cheaper brands is all they sell that they get a bad rap. Car Audio enthusiasts, think "Pawn Shop" when those brands are mentioned. Hell when I had my shop, we carried PowerAcoustic and Coustic right alongside Canton and McIntosh. We had to cater to all sorts. I probably sold the PA and Coustic 3-to-1 compared to Canton and McIntosh, but one MC4000M and I was right back on track. I would much rather sell a $6000 amp, one a day, than 10 $200 amps, but sad as it is, the $200 amps paid the bills.

I say more power to you, but your parents might look into becoming suppliers of some more high end product, to even out the masses.

Back off of the guy. A forum is intended to offer friendly, objective advice to all people, regardless of their experience level, background, or personality.

We all start from the bottom, noone knows it all from the get-go. I started off with some crappy Jensen Triax 6x9s and an EQ booster nearly 20 years ago. And I'll definately say I've come a LONG way since then. The reason I progressed is my interest in audio led me to seek advice from knowledgeable, patient people that were willing to give me the time of day, as well as my own research of audio principles.

The only thing done thus far is flaming him, calling him a dumbshit, a dick. You know why the high end car audio market is dwindling? Because the high end market is turning into a small circle of elitist snobs that aren't willing to offer help to those that won't fit into their little box.

Are the brands he mentioned worth anything? No, at least I don't feel that way. They're unreliable, and reliability is #1 for any piece of equipment you recommend. But that doesn't mean I flame his preferences, call him a dumbass, a dick, or what have you. It means I respectfully disagree and I attempt to objectively back up my stance.

So you are a whole sellers?? I didn't think JL would let that happen? Unless you are a shop, then you must have a huge shop to carry all of em, you could probably drop half of em, and still make enough money to feed the family. Hell you carry DEI, so you should have available , orion and viper.

I can't believe I missed that entire conversation! I'm going to have to start working nights so I can be up when you guys are. Being around the world has its disadvantages.
