Who from this forum works in the car audio industry?

Personally, I don't, but I was just wondering who did because I have seen some very knowledgable people on here, and am curious if it is out of hobby or out of profession that they know everything.

So if you do, please say where you work also, I'm sure we are all dyyyyyying to know

I would like to know as well - some of my best car audio advice has coem from you guys on 7thgen - A lot of my decisions were based on suggestions and experiences - is this just a hobby or do some of you work in the industry? Good thread - I never thought of asking!

sometimes those that do this stuff as a JOB dont always do the best work, ive seen lots of DIYer stuff that looks LOTS better then some stuff done by some so called pros So even thou lots here dont do it as a JOB i veiw them as pros based on knowledge and the work they do!

I'd imagine anything you do day in and day out you will eventually start slacking on or get sick of ... I cant imagine getting sick of car audio, but im sure if it was my job I might b a slacker after long enough..

that is exactly why I will never get into it professionally... I love it, I eat sleep and breathe audio almost, but I would never do it as a living because I want to keep it fresh. You have gotta keep your work and play seperate

i go in phases. car audio one month, speed the next, looks the month after. i like learning i guess. but i took a bunch of EE/electronics courses, the audio stuff i learn by trying different setups and equipment. i don't do illegal drugs, this is where i pour my money into mostly

And about the teacher, i believe its around here but i know it wasnt in ocala

Ocala was involved somehow... I think the kids cousin who drove them around while they porked lived in Ocala, or they drove there to screw around or something, but Ocala was in there somewhere...
