Hilarious SPL Stories post here!

after work one night about a year ago a buddy and I decide to have a showdown, I was running one mofo 12 in the proper box, and he was running 2 in a sh!tty prefab box, he bumps his system first and everyone exclaims "he's got you man," so I smile and pop in a cd and let him and his friends sit in my car, the song starts off with about 30 seconds of high bass notes and they all think wtf, and then boom, the lows kick in and their jaws drop along with the 10-15 others watching blatantly agreeing I own this fool.

point being proved: install is everything, gotta have the right box for the sub

 
not to much of a spl story but i had a guy come in the other day wanting to know why his cap was wining and draining his battery.

He has a Sony 12 powered by a Sony Amp and a rockford cap wich cost him 2bills (the most expensive thing int he system)

I pop the trunk to notice he wired the cap backwards. pos to the neg, neg to the pos.

I coulda squezed him in real quick and charged him some money, but i thought it was better just to tell him cause it made him feel dumbier.

Leave the installs to people who know what there doing:crap:

 
lol, I'm working on pulling a big joke soon once you see it you'll understand how I did it.

i need to ride up north and check out the incriminator shop:naughty:

discounts?

 
Not really spl, but car audio related. Earlier this year I was in walmart ( my favorite place on earth //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ) picking up some fleece. To get to the fabric / craft section you have to walk through the automotive section. Every time I go in there, I have to check and see what's sitting on the clearance rack ( hey, you never know ). As I was walking down the aisle toward the head unit display, I noticed to guys of whom one looked very familiar. Didn't think much of it. Proceeded to the clearance rack to check things out. They had 4 rolls of 50' of 12 gauge speaker wire marked down to $4.00 a roll. So I grabbed all four of them.

One of the guys looks over at me and says

Him - Hey man, you gonna put a system in your ride ?

Me - I'm in the process of it, and have allot more work to do still

him - man you need to talk to my boy over here yo. He can install any system in a day.

Me - Wow that's pretty good

Him - He's the best in the valley

Me - Really, can he do glass work as well ?

Him - my boy can do anything, he did his whole ride himself. It's out in the parking lot, you ought to check it out yo.

me - Alright let me pay for this, and I'll check it out.

him- cool yo, we'll be in the parking lot bumpin. You can't miss it

Me- Alright, I'll be just a second

So I go get my fleece head to the register and pay for everything. Then head outside. I heard them bumping away, and it didn't sound half bad actually. As I walked toward the car I was overcome with the feeling of deja-vu. I know I had seen this car somewhere. Just couldn't remember where.

Him- This is my boy Eric. He custom built all of this

Me- Nice to meet you Eric. Can I look ?

Eric - Yeah man, but be care full. I spent allot of time and money on everything.

me- I understand

I looked in the interior and noticed the kick panels first. They were nicely positioned and wrapped in carpet to match the interior. First thought was maybe the guy does have some skills. Interior looked nice.

him - yo man you gotta check out the trunk yo. That's where his skills really shine.

me- cool let's see

So Eric pops the trunk, and I must say I was very impressed. Everything was layed out nicely. All the glass work was painted to match the exterior. Then I noticed the Audio Express plaque on the enclosure.

Me- I thought you did this yourself

Eric - I did, I work at Audio express

Me- wow really

Eric - Yep, been there for a couple of years now.

Considering I owned 50% of this shop until a month or so ago, I found this kind of strange. Really strange considering I myself have done about 99.9% of the glass work that came out of the shop in the past 6 or 7 years. I etched my initials in one corner of the plaques of every one I installed So I proceeded to look closer

and low and behold there in the corner was my initials R.M. I started chuckling at this point

Eric - What's so funny ?

Me- Who's initials are on the plaque there ? It says RM ?

Eric - That's the guy that owns Audio express. I never see him much, all he does is make the money. I do all the work

Me - Oh yeah, what's this guys name ?

Eric - Ray, or Roy something, I never met him before.

Me - Seems like an a$$ hole to put his initials on your work

Eric - He is, but he owns the place. So what can I do ?

Me - Well guys, I gotta get home and work on my car some more.

Eric - here's my name and number. Give me a call if you need some help

Me- Alright, Here's my name and number as well. Maybe we can get together sometime and just shoot the chit sometime.

I gave him my name and the number for the shop. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
audio express "home of the one dollar fire wire"


Easy now, the store was not part of the audio express chain. Just had the name for a long time. The store was originally a cb shop. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
what was his facial expression? after that


Kind of bewildered. Took him a second to put the initials together with the name I guess //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
remember that time we went into one and that guy was totally bumpin the Sonys?

Our store didn't carry sony. Only time we ever had them in the store was for "fun with a wall outlet hour " Or they came out of someones car. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You're not going to know until you test with a meter. Typically even carpeting a box as opposed to painting is going to lose a few tenths.
