I like my local car audio shop.

I went in today to order a box. I mentioned the subs I had, becuase of the volume I was looking for. The guy goes, I have a 1/2 inch box here, but those will not be nice to it. We then BS'd about the enclosure they are doing for a customer. 2 15L7's running off a US Amps 400, big *** amp. I forget the model number.

*shrug* Was nice to have a shop that recognized brands not as famous as Alpine, Kicker, Memphis, etc. I hear so many horror stories about shops on here, thought I'd share my good experience.

Hansel? Meh. How far North in Ohio have you been? And, have you heard of Horizon Audio/Motorsports? That's the chain I'm talking about.

I'm lucky to live around a metropolitan area. We do have some good ones here. There is also one I like down in Carbondale, about a 2 hour dirive that is very nice. Good info and good installs.

The local shops around here (tampa) for he most part know alot, and carry alot... really high end brands like dynaaudio, focal, eclipse, treo, re audio, diamond, etc. etc.

i mentioned image dynamics and resonant engineering to my shop and they gave me a dirty look as if i was talking about pyle or something //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

they claim that rockford fosgate is priced to beat anything in the market. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Same with my shop. They use to carry a lot of Eclipse product but they began to give them shit. Like they actually have to sell a certain amount to be able to carry them. Now all they car is their cd players
