Im not putting anyone down. Ask around, owning and working at a Car Audio shop doesnt make bank. You really only make money when your doing full custom stuff and have built up a solid reputation and are getting high spending customers. IE. WCC, Gas, Unique.

its just the opposite, there is no money in custom, deck and four is where the money is...also you marry a customer with custom stuff deck and four sort of stuff is an one night stand...

ohh and congrats on the internship...

you could not be more incorrect...there is money in both if you know what you are doing. Im an installer and only do custom work when its really worth it or its a previous customer with whom i have a relationship and im likely going to clear $50k this year doing decks, speakers, amps and a assload of securtiy/remote starts and factory integration. While my coworker is probably going to clear the same doing nothing but custom work

Im guessing my definition of making money is different than others. I surely hope to be clearing well above 50k. If I am only making 50k, I will be very disappointed.

my pesonal definition is my bills are paid my wife and son want for nothing so.....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I got expelled in 10th grade, tested out of highschool, turned 18 on March 12th and I believe i'm smarter then the majority of the people my age. I will not be satisfied with making anything less then 100k a year.
