The aftermarket car audio thread : Questions welcomed! :)
Hello everyone,
I am creating this thread with the aim of having a central discussion on aftermarket car audio.
About me : In a previous life, I was in the aftermarket car audio industry (along with some 2 stroke motorcycle performance products – but that is a different story). I had a lot of exposure to many high end brands from around the world and have had a chance to consult for and participate in some pretty nice builds. It was a different country, different demographics and different market conditions though. However, most of the basic concepts should still be applicable anywhere in the world.
Feel free to post your questions and I will try to answer them as best as I can. I invite other experts on the forum to chip in too
Whenever I see a truly valid, archival worthy point being brought up, I will come back to this first page and update the post with the lessons learnt.
Regards,
RJ

To help make suggestions faster, please follow a format closer to the below -
1) What car?
2) What's your budget?
3) What are your music preferences?
4) What is your expectation from the system - SQ bias (sound quality), SPL bias (very loud system) or SQL system (very loud but still high quality)?
5) How good are your DIY skills?
