Hey, all you people who are praising Roadquake. Listen up to this.
Hellraizing Sound Systems in North Royalton, Ohio has been around for just as long as Roadquake. They do quality stuff. Seen the Batman/Superman Escalade? Heard how they've won King of Cleveland over and over? Unfortunately, they're not brought up in forums like this much. Probably because they deal more with older people instead of teenagers and young adults, people with a lot of cash to burn.
Anyway, the owner, Al, is a nice guy. He keeps his prices fair and performs honest work in a timely fashion, often bending to customer requests with no issue. I've seen a lot of his work up close, and he's even done some stuff for me. Customized radios, TVs in the seats, neons, air ride, you name it, he can do it. And if he can't, he has connections that can. Now, I've never gone to Roadquake because Hellraizing is closer and I like they're work. However, Al's been to the place a few times, and what he's told me about it isn't very good. Also, what I've seen of their stuff isn't that awesome, either. I've heard from a lot of people that they're prices are ridiculous and their products are cheap, not to mention their installation isn't up to par.
But that's nothing compared to the **** they pulled at last night's car show. Now, I don't know about other Roadquakes, but this was the one that used to be in Parma and moved. All of their cars were lined up, with pretty shoddy work done and systems that couldn't stay running. Hellraizing rolls in with the tricked up Escalade, speakers blasting, and steals the whole show. It was pretty amazing. But then it turns out that while Al was talking with people about his work, the owner and his girlfriend along with several others were handing out Roadquake flyers and saying the Escalade was THEIR work. And at the same time, they were dissing Hellraizing's work. Al, as well as several other people, told me about this and I was appalled.
The one time this busy man finds a chance to advertise, Roadquake dives in and steals it away without a second thought. Roman Chariot pulled a stunt like that on the poor guy last year, too. I don't know if Roadquake does this to other shops, but it's downright despicable. It disgusts me that anyone would be so underhanded when they're already "doing so well," as so many of you put it. Personally, I wouldn't associate with those people at all after what they pulled. They don't deserve the business they get.
Seriously, if you people want quality, honest work, go to Hellraizing Sound Systems in North Royalton! Al will hook you up right, and he's a great guy. And you can quote me on that.
