its long but i had to vent:)

okay so im staying home and going to community college this semester. so i went looking for a job at a local audio shop. one bay nothing big and fancy just work. i went un and tried to get an interview but the owner was on the phone so i waited. decided to go outside and listen to music in my truck and **** around on my cell phone. i wasnt pushing the system hard at all. volume up maybe 5 out of 35. and another kid comes up to me and ask what i have. i dont like to tell people cause i want to keep my system. so i said just some off the wall tens in prefab boxes and a jensen amp (i dont have this stuff look at my sig for what i really have lol). he likes "o cool whats the ohms on the subs" i said "there single 8's". his jaw drops and says "those only get 8 watts of power!!" i said "no its the ohms so the resistanc is 8" then he said "no your wrong my friend i plan on getting a job here and the ohms are the watts the subs get constently" i said "no thats the rms you must have those two confused" not being an *******. he continues to ask me about my system and he he gets back on the subs(i stay slient this whole time and lmfao on the inside so hard not to laugh) and starts basically trying to teach me what they do- he points to the dust cap"this is what makes all that noise, the piston shots up the air and it hit off this" and then he points to the d-block "theres your fuse and thats what make your system really hit hard. it stores up engery for those big blast of bass, ha of course with only 8 watts you would know about it" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

i know its long but stay with me lol, okay after said that i wouldnt know anything about bass notes or sound. i took him to the passenger side told him to sit down. i went into my seat and start to put in a 36 mafia cd. i put on "roll with it" and turned the eq, sub level, and head unit up and let him listen. he look dumbfounded:up2somet: . he then ask me if my subs are audiobahns. 'they hit that hard you have to bahns to do that" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif after this whole thing was over i went into the shop to get an interview and geuss what. this kid was the owners son!!!!! he was 19. i basicaly told him im a little busy and i gotta go right now. i know he could have been confused but come on 19 with a dad in audio and he thinks the d-block is a cap and he called it a fuse. i dont know, i just dont know

moral- watch whos working on your car! cause you know theres people like that.

 
Im going in to spend $500 down, and then another $675 after for a custom fiberglass box for my 15' ava in the back of my camaro, and im still worried, i asked the guy all kinds of questions and asked to see previous work, hes about 27 it seems and looks like he knows what hes doing, im still scared though...

LOL I just took out my friends subs today that a shop called Audio EXPERTS installed and they only hooked up one voice coil (the sub is a D4) I am simply baffled as to how an installer could possibly do that

 
ya in a reg cab sealed up they get pretty darn loud. im mean nuthing next to a car with subs in the trunk but i got no space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif lol

 
I wouldnt go to any installers unless I knew them personally, or someone I trust knows them personally.

Remember long ago, when I was going to try and be the RE dealer for CA? Well that shop that was helping me totally is the same. Its a bunch of stupidass tards who swore by JL and would "Hook me up" for 250$ for a L7(I obviously never bought any).

But yea,some shops have complete tools working for them.

Thats the kinda shit im afraid of, thats why im just getting them to build the box, and ill install everything, i already dont trust people and after reading stupid shit like this it just adds to it
