Car audio Setup ideas

well if its gonna be a demo car u might want to use a company everyone even newbs who walk in saying gimme a sub will kno..like kicker...hmm do u have any direct questions like what should i put in or no cause i say all fiber glass if u really wanna catch someones eye

Hmm, I dont really agree with that. Products from JL and Kicker generally sell themselves and dont need a demo. Pick lines that are protected better and not *****d online. Companies like RE, Image Dynamics, and Autotek have worked good for us. If you put in Kicker products people will be real impressed and then leave and buy from ebay. Seriously, I know what I am talking about.

you say your gunna have a few show cars sittin around right?

pimp out your mustang with all the high dollar shit and whatnot to get low and loud and get your recognition, but you should have atleast 1 or 2 cars sittin around with something loud that sounds good, that are affordable. 4 kicker comps off a 1200.1 in a sealed box, 1 JL w3v3 off 300 watts, something simple, for the kids who wanna bump but dont have the big $

i think a few setups involving some 8s would move some merchandise too. everytime i see a setup with multiple 8s, i come closer to buying them. small, and impressive.

But they have to sell at almost retail prices, they are no competition for a dealer really. Would you rather buy a SE10 for 273 online or 175 from me, your local dealer?

exactly. but vary your equpiment from car to car, that way when you have an interested customer come in and ask hey how do the re re components sound? walk over to the car those comps are in, play with the hu so the subs are off, and let them hear the components.

someone comes in, asks they want something decent sounding in a small space..walk over to that car..etc

deversify your equipment in your show cars so you could use it as a selling point. and if you really wanted to get into it, have your mustang with your huge elaborate setup, like a midsize suv with something in it, a reg cab truck so you can show what you could do in tight spaces..stuff like that

well if ur gonna use ur musting daily, do an SQ setup...teenagers want subs that wang so you cant hear anything else... if they see a 10" in your car they won't bother it, especially if its a brand noone knows (ID, RE, etc)

use the stang for top of the line stuff and SQ

use some other car for a model with all your spl stuff

So in other words have a setup in a different vehical to showcase every possible configuration?
