Im posting this in hopes of improving this situation, not make it worse. Please keep that in mind Jbinn. There's plenty of bad info given out on this and many other forums. Ive given bad advice before, you have, we all have been wrong before. The difference is keeping an open mind and accepting that even if you think you are right, you may be wrong. No matter how much you think you know about car audio, someone is bound to come along who knows more. I read the link to what you said 2-3 years ago. The problem is, now you say back then you didnt know much, you admit you were a noob back then. Well, back then you didnt say 'hey Im a noob but this is what I think', you suggested you were an expert. So people relate to you now, as you were then. Make sense?
Its amazing how much we can learn when we realize our ego will get in the way of that if we let it. Ive been a member here for what, like 10 years now (and longer on other forums), and Ive been into car audio for a loooong time (including attending an install school 20 years ago)... and I still learn new stuff here all the time, even from 'noobs' sometimes. So by all means, post your opinions, and your facts, but be mentally prepared to accept you might be wrong. That is when you will really start learning, making friends, and gaining positive attention rather than negative, and getting respect.
To everyone else, this thread is silly imho. If someone posts erroneous info in the tech section, correct them then and there. Posting a thread like this will never lead to good things. And remember guys, its all fun and games until somebody gets an eye poked out.
Negativity attracts negativity.
Cheers.
