....i'm gonna run the fronts and rears of this amp..eventually i will buy a second amp...

future plan... to run front's and sub with ppi amp..then get a second amp to run the rears..so i can adjust where i want the sound....

this is all gonna run off my ****ty panasonic 730 head unit..
but eventually im looking to upgrade to the new pioneer deh-p9800bt

 

WOW

BOLD letters...

Congrats though.

 

thaaaaaaanksssssss dude

 

you think i did pretty good with the set up..or was there better i can do for under 800..and dealer cost

 

well as long as it sounds good to you...

 

i didnt get it yet..the order was placed today so ..maybe monday...sweeeet..but im not going to put it in just yet..im gonna have to deaden the doors....whats better deadened doors or a deadened kick panel???

 

i wanted the seas lotus's but non of our distributors carry it..and they dont carry rainbows either.

 

Why PPI? They have not been worth a darn since the power class. now those where powerful amps. But congrats on new set up. Any audio is better than no audio. The a/d/s are not bad they have a good sound. I ran those once upon a time. I am glad that people continue to upgrade there sounds.

 

well the ppi's were basically given to me..they were dirt cheap...around 300..so i jumped on it....zapco would have been nice.

 

how do you like your rainbows?

 

There are No distributors for Rainbow at all.

SEAS are run by MobileSQ on the West coast. Youd be hardpressed to find any highend reputible products through distribution.

Im guessing you got the A/D/S and PPIs going through a distributor that stocks DEI products.

 

yeaaup... so is it possible to get seas and rainbows into other stores?

 

the only other place to get Rainbows besides The Don is a place in Ga...but they charge more.

 

Alot more.

 

so the don is the only one... so fortunate for us maxima drivers.

 

If your Boss wants Rainbow products have him contact me, Im sure I can help him out a bit.

 

Yes it is, despite the fact that Im sure your not too fond of me.

 

the problem is there is no money in NY state.. people are very cheap here.. especially north of the city...i would truly love to have more companies but people arent interested in car audio anymore.. people think there paper cones are marvelous...thats why i was spaming before..i'm trying to get more business in the store... we have had several sponsorships but it doesnt stimulate enough,,... most of the money is made off of remote starts and alarms! AND NOW SOME CARS COME WITH REMOTE START!!!....seriously the largest package sold this year is 4 kappa 6x8's ,reference 4 channel amp..
and top of the line excelon deck..
he already has 3 jl's....

i wish there was more movement.. ive been dying to do more

 

no i see your arguement..but i was trying to help out the store..im getting bored in there and thats not good

 

Dont take offense to this, but its the salespeople, not the customers if its doing that badly. I pride myself on Only offering Highend products and I do quite well with sales. NY has the money, you just have to show people what theyre buying and why.

 

If it wasnt me it would have been someone else. If you ask around in this forum I am VERY Easy going. Others would have banned you already without a thought. Just like the thread you put in the Northeast section (I dont moderate) got deleted.

 

ive been top sales in both previous jobs.. this market isnt much different.. i try to offer high end and people are blown away...this area hasn't been doing so well.. businesses are crumbling...also the location seems to have died over the last year.. not that many cars go by anymore..

 

what was the post about in the northeastern section?

 

maybe time to close up then.

 

The spamming to get people to come to the store.

 

yes .. the business is for sale..i tried reviving his interest but no go..

 

also it is a barn that was made into a store...with one pillar holding the roof up..lol....i just thought i could go further with this business...the money was in sirius radio to but theres only so much you can do..

 

and where is it exactly?

 

Sirius blows and their commisions are worse. Shoulda went with XM.

 

mahopac , NY on route six...are you interested?

 

xm's signal isnt strong.. i get complaints.. with sirius everyones happy... plus the installs easier since theres no soldering to do

 

Umm you do know how both work right? XM has been proven to be more relaible, hence the reason theyre offered in more cars and now on airlines. Theres more satellites and they orbit With the earth not over it in figure 8s.

Also where is there more or less soldering in either? If I had to pick one, it would still be XM due to the Terk direct connect units working with both OEM and aftermarket HUs. ALL plug&play

 

that is true with the terk....when we hardwire the unit to the fuse box we solder speaker cable to a fuse or ground and power through the radio.....xm has uses 5 volts ..

sirius i just cut the cig lighter thing and black to ground and black-white to a fuse..

 

must be the area that doesnt get the signal..i know in nyc its a better signal

 

Kickpanel Enclosure Vs. Speakers In The Doors..--with The Dynamatt Speaker Kit.....also Heres Another Idea..run 2pairs Of Speakers In Front...one In The Door And Kickpanels...

 

just got the speakers today and the amp.. the amp weighs a ton

 

due to heavy heatsinks, thats all....

 

the cross over for the ads speakers are the size of my old amp 200 watt amp... these things are huge, theyre definatly not going in the door. and now i have to make a whole for the tweeter.... im debating whether to make the tweeter directional towards the driver and passanger.

 

you don't want the tweets to aimed directly at you. it might be a little too harsh...

 

I would still tilt them a bit, not completely directed toward the person. Even at 10 degrees, it could make a world of difference.
