Well mr.john kuthe maybe thats because one minute you ask for help. Get help. **** on it. Then **** on everyone else that offers advice. Throw your three "degrees" and by the way if you really have three degrees why the hell are you so proud of a 2006 caravan? We all drive everyday cars (not all lol some here have sweet rides like a guy on here that lives close to me I'd dye to have his Tahoe yeah that's you hertz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif and while some here are not running the biggest systems we are proud to install and build our selves.
I had a 1994 Caravan "Baby" whom I loved for 10 years until last Halloween 2015 she was KILLED on my way home from work! I detest car loans (or any loans really) and I found a 2006 Grand Caravan on Craigslist for $1750! Almost 200,000 miles, yes needed a little work but I bought it, had the work done and she's beautiful! Gonna have her painted red in the Spring! Bay II's ReBirthday!!
When we ask for help we take it. Asked a buddy his recommendations on a box and even though it was way bigger than I thought would work he knows his **** so I built it to his recommendations and am stoked with how it's coming along. Now am I the best box builder? Absolutely not. So what do I do? Ask for advice. Take said advice since this guys system **** near made me **** out at first and knows sundown better than anyone I know. Did I argue? F@ck no. That's why I asked for ADVICE!!
I had already decided a lot of what I wanted when I came to Caraudio.com (All or mostly Alpine equipment) and the first feedback I got was folks pissing on my choice of gear like Alpine equipment was not even worth a nod! I explained that I had Alpine equipment in Baby my 1994 Caravan and LIKED it, but they still insisted my choice of equipment and build (stock speaker locations) was crap and spent most of their post words berating me personally, e.g. ad hominem attacks. Yes I know there's much better stuff available, always was and always will be. But I CHOSE my Alpine stuff, bought it and now wanted to optimize it's installation. (Which is happening, like today my installer guy got ALL (20sq-ft) my Damplifier Pro installed and tomorrow he starts the Luxury Liner Pro installation, all stuff I learned from Caraudio.com
Not argue and say I have i am hvac certified, certified to work on veissmann boilers(and many others) (which I'm very proud of since these are one of the nicest boilers you can buy) which both have 0 to do with car audio so I don't throw out my certifications because guess what. No one here cares. Some guys here are probably way more educated and have REAL ee degrees and better jobs and do they throw it in people's face every 5 posts. Nope. Yes electrical knowledge is required for my job but that does not all translate to this hobby.
I merely cited my formal education and former practical experience as a way to tell and show folks that knowledge I have, which is considerable.
Maybe if you would just take 5 min to shut the **** up and take advice people would be willing to help. But no your need for acceptance (quick google search shows you are on any forum (even a cooking one where people were worried you killed yourself lol over you being a **** to someone with a medical disorder) you can find just for some sort and what do you know everyone ends the same for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif people telling you to leave. It seems you are either too dumb to realize nobody cares about you or just need attention wether is people telling you to **** off or whatever the case. Ps since alpine is such AMAZING products why are all the real guys here not running it. High school alpine was awesome 10 years ago but then I learned what real car audio was. So I'd like to take a money to sincerely say shut the **** up and listen. Keep your mouth closed (I promise you won't explode if you do) unless it is actually useful. And then maybe and I doubt it will ever happen but people may be willing to offer advice. But then again the "installer guy" that you found off Craigslist?? Knows everything and if he doesn't your there to show him how lmao. So doubt the almighty lord kuthe needs help from the caraudio peasants here to help him. We are all in the mighty shadow of John kuthe so it's kinda hard to help you. That's why nobody does is because you are just a straight up ****. Please do us all a favor and just stop. It was amusing at first but now it's just sad. I've been here a year or so (maybe not that long) and when I first came here thought I knew it all. Quickly realized the guys here take this very seriously and I needed to be quite and learn. So I just read read and read more to learn. Not read or ask and then argue. I was going to say something the other day and changed it to unneeded because I'd have better luck arguing over car audio with my 6yo daughter than your inbread(SIC) ***. So with that said sincerely **** you John Kuthe......
Folks here take this all too seriously. I just need a little of the serious! I'm not making it my whole life, just a small excellent sounding slice of MY life! I;ve always had pretty good sound systems in my cars (albeit primitive) and they always sounded pretty good.
And before you get to who are you? I am lord kuthe and i own the Internet you pee on and don't hide behind a screen name. Names Lewis betts and am a facility director (which to save you the time googling it means I am in charge of all buses,maintenance,custodial, and much more for a school district in my area)
Am I bragging? Absolutely not. It's not a glorious job but if what I do makes the difference somehow in one kids education it is worth it.
My professional life is almost finished, I aspire to RETIREMENT!! Screw professional working!
If you truly wanted advice these guys here offering it to you know their ****. Listen. Don't argue. If you don't agree guess what? Absolutely nothing you've done here has earned you the right to be such a arrogant ******* and argue the way you do. That sir is why no one helps you.......Have a great night bud. cant wait to get a response from the one and only John kuthe.
I HAVE been listening! Every once in a while I get some really good pointers to stuff like PHD speakers and Second Skin insulative materials! I think the Alpine PXA-H800 DSP too! That's gonna be FUN (like a Drumpf Presidency!)
John Kuthe...
