I'm still a relative newbie (4 years) but I've amassed a great deal of experience, and knowledge so far, and still learning every day...

5 years for me, goin on the sixth...got into it pretty young and all I can think about is how stupid I was back then!!! but in another 5 years I'll probably not think quite so highly of myself now

Keep it loud!

I started when i was 12 couldn't drive(legally) but still put cheap crappy amps speakers in my dads truck and installed decks for my cousin and friends. Was hard core into it in high school. Went to college and i have kind of moved into home audio now. Still interested in it and when i finish college ill start to compete again. Done about 100 installs for friends and other people. Now being 21 i have learned alot about car audio and it also is the many reason that i went to school for electronics, so maybe one day i will be designing car electronics.

For 10 yrs. now I Have enjoyed some sort of system in every car I have owned! I just can't imagine having a vehicle without an amp mounted somewhere and some sort of sub. Maybe one day when i'm 75 i'll have grown out of car audio.
