Well it looks like i might be moving into a new shop about 30 miles away from where i am now. There will be about 10 times the people atleast there and there are 2 audio shops there but the dont do a thing of custom work or even make a wooden box. the town has about 30g in people and about another 15gs in surrounding towns with in 40 mile stretch. Those 2 shops are really bad kicker and RF nuthuggers. "if it ain't our brand its gotta suck" thats pretty much how they are. The shop im moving into will be kinda small but should still work great rent is only 400 a month and lots of traffic goes by there too. pretty decent area for a shop. I have a ton of stuff that i think will blow peoples minds that they have never seen before like the "magical fiberglass" and "custom made boxes to your subs". so what do you guys think about this? do you think it will fly? if i can get the people to come i know i can pretty much run both of those shops out of business or atleast take alot of it. thanks for looking everyone.

Good luck man.

Location sounds very good. As long as you have a good reputation, it'll take you a long way. If you install some killer subs for people that will walk on those of the "Kicker/RF nuthuggers", it'll help you that much more as the word is spread :) .

Good for you sinister. More traffic more customers, sounds right to me. I know that once people come and hear and see your stock along with good prices you will take a good chunk of business from the other guys. $400 sounds sweet to me and who cares if the shop is small, which I'm sure your not concerned about at all. That's what kind of shop I'm looking for right now because you can actually get straight answers and great deals instead of a guy trying to get you in and out the door with as much high priced junk as possible. Word of mouth travels fast too, so when I deal with a pro that knows what he or she is doing I go back and so does everyone I send there. There are three shops along with a few that try to sell systems in my old home town of Slave Lake Alberta which is way up north. There are only 8g in the town and mabey 15g in the outskirts and they do not too bad. They sell other little things besides just audio equiptment to make extra money. You'll do great I'm sure, good luck Sinister.

thanks everyone i think it should be a good idea trying it there. i dont have to sign a lease so that will help if it dosnt flow.

Rent for $400 a month, what do you have to lose? I say go for it.

Do you sell or have anything online sinister?

i use to sell fiberglass boxes online but that was a really big hassle and everyone wanted them cheaper than they should of been. im sure i could sell some stuff online but some places i cant if there is a dealer there.

Sounds good, go for it.

Just outsell/out service the competition and you will be fine.

Sounds like a solid business move, literally...
