another thing tho, that helped me get my first job after mobile d, is spending $5000 on school, shows an employer you are dedicated to car audio, and probably not gonna quit in a months time.

I saw an ad in the current issue of CA&E for another school. Called Audio Institute or something like that. They offer 1-2 week courses on things such as Fabrication-only and what seems to be more specialized, perhaps more advanced courses than MD does. They did a demo truck that was featured a little while back in CA&E. If someone doesn't know the link I will try to get it tonight. I don't think this is the same one but it's another to check out:

Another thing to try is the videos that supplies like Select Products offers. Or how about Rockford Technical Training Institute (RTTI)?

I couldn't agree more, when I went I had (what I thought was) a good knowledge of car audio, and I wanted to learn more about alarms, but what I found was that there was so much more to learn, in school and after, and about that "cramming" and "stuffing", thats totally up to the student, I cant speak for others, but I learned the subjects, not just enuough to pass the tests. That would have been a waste of money!

RTTI is for RF dealers only. Its more of a training in RF products than anything else. They do have a RTTI Top Gun class (that Tim Baillie went to) but as the name implies, only installers who are the **** and work for an RF dealer get to go. We are talking about less than 30 people from what I understand so far.

Here we go, the one I was thinking of is Acoustic Edge Institute www.stereoschool.com They offer Installation packages, Fabrication pacakages or a combo. They got a school in Houston and Oklahoma. The Houston one though uses Audiobahn in their Sound Room
