P ersonally loved Auto Sound & Security, before they stopped publishing it. PA&S is kewl, but Im not to big into tuners, and the problem I see with CA&E is they only publish systems that cost you your first born. What ever happened to the average guy, seeing as how most installs and systems for that matter are done by a guy on a limited budget. Not everyone has the money to do the flashy installs they hilight. They need to get back to the heart of car audio, focus on us, still throw in a nice high end shoot, but cater to the average guy, who enjoys car audio for what it is, not what it can be comercially

No offense Dave, but I think that is a load of Crap, CA&E and CSR used to post test on product that wasn't good, they would be politically correct but they got the point across that it sucked with out having to say it sucked. As a reader of every car audio magazine I can get my hands on I never read PAS's reviews because I can almost quote what it is going to say with out reading it, what is the point in doing a test ???

Keeping good relations with advertisers and get the brown nose are very different things................

I would call it integrity on the magazine behave.........

Just my thoughts though..............

In Daves defence, you have to take every review you read with a grain of salt. It's only one persons point of view.

When I was after a mountain bike I only read the reviews that were less than a 10. Most people don't want to admit the product they just spent thousands of dollars on has flaws. I read the lower ratings to find where people were having problems.

So like Dave said, read between the lines to get the full story..........or as much as can be printed.
