Bronze Member Username: Boston_splHighland, CA United States Post Number: 35 Registered: Nov-08 | I went into a shop in a ghetto area about 10mi. from my house, and asked if they carried 1/0ga. wire. The employee (the manager, no less) laughed at me and said, no they didn't & that no system should warrant the need for power wire that large. And don't get me started on how they swear by capacitors and think HO alternators are a waste of money. LoL...Amazing. And these clowns are supposed to be Professionals. |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Es DEALER, GA USA Post Number: 2466 Registered: Mar-06 | It's sad what some shops do and what they actually know. It makes the industry look worse and if they carry a certain product, doesn't say much about them either. You would be AMAZED at what I have seen in my ventures to shops in the southeast. Some shops make me feel good, and others make me want to burn it down. Kevin PS: Tommy (owner) at TNT Car Stereo actually knows a few things . |

Silver Member Username: DuckaHoughton and/or Macomb, MI United States Post Number: 847 Registered: Jan-08 | Yeah, I have found most car audio shops to be dumb and everything is grossly over priced(Why is that by the way?). Makes me want to start up my own shop(That would be dream living 101). Anyone wanna start one up with me? |

Gold Member Username: Killerzracing71Post Number: 2349 Registered: Aug-05 | Yeah I just went to the shop called Wholesale outlet, today. I didnt talk to them much just helped my Cuzo out and got some Ground wire for his amp but 2$ Ft for 8ga wire. but I didnt care and he wanted it no need to even say anything about it. Next thing is, Dude told Me Re XXX was Junk and Couldnt touch SOundstream XXX cuz that was 10,000 watts ( so subs make power I guess) It used to be worse but it looks like the store is turning around. Dude made a Box that was pretty cool i should taken a pic It I walked by it and it rotated on its own. It was carpeted like Dice. and would roll when you walked by it and had the subs inside and it played while it did that. When Me and Yanks meet up we will give a full review. |

Post Number: 14503 Registered: Jul-05 | what most shops think is that everybody who walks into their shop doenst know a fack so they try to railroad a customer into thinking because they sell brand x\y\z that its very good because since they carry it there4 it must be good ....that might be the case yrs ago b4 ppl had internet but not again since most ppl research b4 buying ..... |
