Steve Meade of CA vs. Beast from Da East...

Would that be so bad?
usually its pretty clear who does who's stuff.... and being that ive been competing for quite a number of years,....ive aquired a finely tuned bullshit detector when it comes to setup builds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

 
I see.

It's all good though...I am relatively new to the politics and the scene. It really doesn't interest me at all. I just want to hit a good number.

When I want to know who has real money, I don't consult people in car audio, I consult investors.

I just find it hypocritical that a spokesman for the industry, so to speak, has no real clue on installs or fabrication when the industry's foundation is based on the premise of " built, not bought".
ever work in a real install bay? 99% of the guys out there with the biggest and baddest systems dont have a clue whats in their vehicles. its a great thing because it continues to pay my bills and countless other installers at my job. we cater to dealers, brokers, investors, celebs, i mean it is such a vast customer base and most of them just want the "loudest" at any cost. we have done alot of promo vehicles.

the industry's foundation is ....getting paid!

are you kidding ? if he worked at an install bay, i'd go over there and slap him myself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

your customer base that can afford that kind of install is about 1% of all sales.

Congrats.

so dont attempt to talk down to anyone. I think the people who've posted so far (at least the ones with something valid to say) are knowledgable on the topic as a whole.

Obviously they all can't be the loudest as that is a singular adjective.

While I agree promos and people trying to be cool in town, that's great to have someone install your equipment.

But to say (or imply) (or have your cronies imply) that you are louder than someone, I think it should reflect more about the skill of the installation, not the depth of the owner's pocketbooks.

 
no matter what at the end of the day the car/truck is what it is regardless who built it or who paid for it....alot of guys who compete are installers or even customizers if they get a customer who wants to compete why shouldn't they do it? why should the car owner be frowned upon for not doing it themselves? some may not have room for $800 in tools or even the space to work in and they may also not have the time to do the work...its one thing to be a proud DIYer and quite another thing to pass off judgment for those who aren't. that is sorta like saying you cant like race cars because you cant wrench or don't drive 185 mph, or cant like a sport because you aren't a professional level athlete.....
