[QUOTE="mlstrass, post: 2268904, member: 569126"] Gotta remember that the local guys are trying to make a living, so they WILL look down on anything they didn't sell you. I just try to be polite and don't mention what I have unless they ask. I picked up a SVR battery a few weeks ago at a local place and the guy was telling me how JL had 11 patents and made the best sub in the world, blah blah. That I needed to use a spectrum analyzer to tune my front stage, etc... Of course he sold JL subs and offered the SA tuning as a service. I wouldn't have played it for him if he asked, NO win situation. Another shop I frequent for electrical parts is BIG on Alpine stuff and the owner has a car full. 12" Type R ported, Type S comps up front and rear. He offered me a listen so of course I took the opportunity. Highs were insanely shrilly, which could just be some EQing to fix, sub was respectably loud but lacked punch and sure didn't go low. I've definitely heard worse out there, but you'd think the owner's car would be a rolling advertisement. Owner is a cool guy though, not pushy or a know it all. [/QUOTE]
