this is not an attempt to slash, bash, crash, be crass, or trash anyone in here who gives advice to the ignorant (having a lack of knowledge).
I just ask all of the experts and tech-sperts in these rooms (you know who you are) to not be so condescending, cynical, and sensitive to the sheep who look for a shepard (including me) when it comes to car audio.
I would like to say that most of in here are adults and would like to be treated as such.
There is no purpose of trashing the products that others are buying because it does not fit the upper class of components that the "audio elite" recommend.
I would be safe in saying that 90% of us in here is asking for cut and dry advice, not the lousy choice speech about the products given, unless they want a recommendation. All of us in here are stoked, jacked, and hyped-up about car audio and need a place to show their enthusiasm.
Only those that ask for the "what do you think about this?" answer should get it. I have fallen suspect to that and had verbal altercations in here due to that.
None of us need anyone to hold our hands in here like children (although some of in here are and/or act that way), but a simple, "hey, let's make what you have sound the best it can" attitude. I know that it is hard for some in here to grasp the fact that "they want me to give them advice about this sh!+?! I'll just tell them to get better sh!+ !"
We all ask for advice in here, but flat out most of us are pretty content with what we have. otherwise, we would not get Audiobahn, Sony, or Kole Audio (my brand) clan members that throw up "gang" signs about their products.
If the products we have are lousy and total crap, just say, "Good for you!! Glad you like it." and keep the uncontrollable laughter outside of the screen.
I know big dawgs, it is hard to see people waste their money, but hey at least it is not yours!!! Smile people!!!
I'm with you on the whole "Be happy with what you have" thing. I don't have much money myself, and when I ask for some place to buy a box and people tell me to get one custom built, I feel REALLY poor!
hahahaha as a custom box builder, I can tell ya, there's a reason custom boxes are expensive. It's a lot of work, and a lot of art in making one that really shines.. but there are some good prefab boxes if you just want a universal sturdy box that will perform well for the subs you have. It's just a matter of what you're looking for.
