Best city in America for car audio business?

I'm in Houston, Tx and music is a huge part of us. Weather it be slab riders, rednecks, your daily enthusiast or just getting into it. Austin, Dallas and San Antonio are also huge music cities.

Not a huge city but Little Rock, AR has done fairly decent for several shops. There are a few I can think of that have been around for 10+ years and are doing well. Cost of living and overhead would probably be less than several of the others listed. You could also look into Northwest Arkansas...Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville and such. This area is consistently ranked as one of the fastest growing in the nation. A lot of college kids and several large business HQs (Walmart, Tyson, etc.) make for some decent disposable income.

believe it or not, we got pretty booming car audio industry here in orange county CA. However, its a bunch of hackjob illegals here that are making loads of money just because they are carrying jl audio kicker and mainstream crap. None of them can build a demo car let alone a proper enclosure and they are charging an arm and a leg for hackjobs. All their business is from other illegals collecting their welfare check. If you do plan on moving here, better learn spanish.

Ill tell you another problem with the biz right now, stock car audio systems are alot better than they use to be. And songs are mixed with alot more bass in them, alota people just won't buy a system now-a-days because they feel they don't need one. Another thing is stock hu already come with everything you need and look dham nice. You don't need subs to get bass anymore so why but buy a system?.

Truth. Haven't found a shop yet that has consistently knowledgable employees.

If you know of one please tell me. Don't care what side of town it's on. I'll take my business there every time.
