Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

Well I cant say all the information I have is/was accurate. But my ex was rambling on about stuff way back when.

Basically to make a long story short I wanted to get into contact with Don about a kid he has with my ex, whom I have a kid with also (before him). The only way I potentialy could of got ahold of him was through the Kinetik site (as my ex blabbed he owned part of it?). So I shot off an e mail and got a rather snide reply back. Thats why I think hes a douche bag (pat).

Legal issues with kinetik is what started this whole thread, read through it.

My comments were more on a personal level than a professional. The way I look at things is the guy running the show is a douche bag, the company has a black eye.

On a professional level it appears theres some issues at hand. I dont use Kinetik batts so i dont have any first hand experiences.

First and foremost, Don has never been anything more than a low level employee at any time and that was many years ago. I would not even have a clue where to find him today.

As for the guy "running the show" I assume you mean Pat. He has been known to be thought of as a rough around the edges guy, but that is because he is a high level guy in the industry. It would be like asking Bill Gates for tech support. Or asking Bill Ford how to change your oil. Not that it excuses any rudeness, just the way it is in the world.

As for any legal issues that this company has, any company that has quick success like we did in an old school industry like the battery industry is going to ruffle some feathers and tick some people off with deep pockets. When you do that, they can tangle you up in the legal system for years if they want to. That is America I guess.

I guess some would call me a Kool-aid drinker or a fanboy, but to be honest, our products are very well designed for car audio. That is not to say that other brands would not work too. Some people are going to have other brands and they will work just fine. Some will have a Kinetik and it will work fine. Others will have any brand that fails and will always say it sucked.

It would be no fun to have only one single brand of any component. What if we only had one H/U company to choose from? Or amp brand? Or woofers? I think you see the point. There are plenty of people out there and one product will not fit all. We just hope to help our fair share of people keep their music beating.
