#61: Author: Firewall, Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 10:48 pm late as usual, but
i'm 22 and i've been hooked on car audio since we got our b13 (standard 5 )
i'm interested in everything car audio related but i'm not competition driven.
its a hobby for me and i have done many installs over the years and have always learned something from each of them (so i can only imagine the knowledge gained from formal training)
may one day do it as a sideline, but i can't really handle the owners hovering.
(sorry SR..............is not mine, so i had to )
Actually working on a car and hearing the result of your work at the end for me is what its all about.

i recently ( about 2 years) deicded to do car audio installation and sales as my full time job.
i do any kind of system, be it competition,spl or sq but i mainly like to do custom "pretty" installs.
also it would be nice to have some formal training with regards to i.c.e because u can always learn something new, weither it be physics behind car audio or just tips and tricks.

#66: Author: markzz, Location: Somewhere in the East..Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 2:16 pm I'm 21 been in this thing since I was about 12.. taking apart ole radio speaker and plugging it into my cassette Walkman and ringin out..
I've really grown alot since then basically gained alot of knowledge from reading through product manuals @ first and later on many online forums.. i have gained alot of knowledge from there and has helped me alot with practical applications.. I would be very interested in formal training..
I have only entered competition on 2 occasions IDBL and gallery and surprisingly won 2 trophy's thus far. its a nice experience I'm just basically trying to gather as much experience from all aspects of car audio as i can.. getting into some Sound Quality applications this year lets see how it goes
i started doing car audio since form 1
first install was a pioneer deck and 4 6" on the backdash of a kingswood
use to buy all the car audio magazines since then and i probably still have all at home
learnt a lot from those magazines while in high school
and last year i got to meet a few of the techinical writers for those mgas as well
entered my 1st sq comp at the age of 18 and won car was built by myself
the rest is history
