Audio rant about my boss.

[M42Technik]

He just recently bought a 2000 Porsche Carerra 4 convertible, with a hardtop, with 17,000 miles for $37,500. This is a hell of a steal, so he decides to get some nice stuff to add on and such.

He decides he needs new speakers because the ones he has are not up to par in the rear, mainly due to their location (inside the rear "door" cards, well below earshot level).

So I tell him to find some really nice component speakers to replace them, like Memphis or Focal's. even JL, and some other brands.

He goes to Best Buy and gets Infinity Reference coaxials, which are okay at best. So is it just me who thinks he is really stupid for doing this? He's loaded up to his eyeballs and he gets this new car, and he buys some junk from Best Buy's crack team of specialists?!

Anyways, I'm through. It has however made me want to buy some audio equipment, but it will have to wait until later, and I need to find a place that sells some Memphis stuff...

[eyagel]

tell him to spend some money, it is worth it to buy good components.

Its too late, he's already got the stuff in and he won't listen to reason, he has got serious class with his home theater, but with car audio...not so much. Oh well.

Actually, i would say that the Infinty Reference is one of the best sounding "Major Name Brand" speakers out there. I like the shit I sell better, but he would not know the names.

Cheap and easy, he found a salesman that told him what he wanted to hear.

Good thing it's his money. I feel that way everytime someone asks me about Nankang tires. Or pep-boys lifetime brake pads. All us educated ones can do is ADVISE the un-educated. Bottom line, the decision is their's rather they take the advice or not.

[M42Technik]

Both of you make good points. In the end, its not my money. He sure has been asking for a lot of advice when it comes to his car though. I'm trying to convince him to spring for some cool shit for it.

And Luke if you mean that I may have to go get some 5 1/4" ones... I need some replacements badly.

That's about all we can do with the infinite knowledge of the automotive way-of-life.

[Teaguer]

You should cut his brake lines .

Cubans are known for that , right ?

[Farbin Kaiber]

I thought that was the Anti-Witness Protection Program mob type guys.

[M42Technik]

Trying not to take offense, but Teaguer at least finish your car before throwin' shit in the fan. I know you got plans and stuff but no updates? :-P

And its usually the mob, yes. He is Italian oddly enough.

Well I was thinking it would be convenient since Cubans usually carry around knives and all . ;)

Oh fear not as there are plenty of updates ..but I chose to keep them on the DL for the time being .

I thought "Hood-Rides" were the new "It". Way to go on the custom hood ride. Teaguer is a trendsetter. I just love the LTW bumper mod.
