Anyone ever seen a "glowy fuse?" Ive had 2 homeboys bring a civic in to figure out why their subs arent loud, and its because theyve been using automotive light bulbs for fuses, and they light up. LOL

OMFG LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It is mainly the ghetto community... But I have heard a few others as well. Litterally almost every ghetto person I get that comes in goes man how many watts do those speakers push...... Push?..... yeah like how loud that be because the more watts a speaker has the louder it is.... Sometimes I blow them off sometimes I explain speakers don't push whats. It isn't like the HP on your engine( perhaps where they got if from lol lol) it is a capacity which typically isn't rated correctly. It is more like engine size rather than engine HP. most say AHHHH.... But I ain't kidding almost EVERY ghetto person that comes in says push watts..... GRRRR it is annoying. That is why most ghetto people have pyle and pyramid ... I try to get them to get a Type R 12 that is underrated at 500 watts and they go no i don't want that junk. That pyle 1600 watt sub over there is way louder blah blah lol

What shop in Indy do you work at?
