Always interesting to hear what first sparked ones initial interest in car audio. What then lead you to compete?
My case, I had a brother and a buddy with interests in quality music...it got me hooked lol. Without them, would I have found my way this far?...Probably, but hard to say lol

I got in because I was the only one of my family that was comfortable installing something that ISN'T house wiring. It was '87 and I installed a stereo in my cousin's BRAND NEW Daytona turbo. Consisted of two Redline subs ( I believe they were ) a MONSTROUS amp that I can't remember the name of and an Alpine deck with EQ.
Worked the first time, I guess I was about 8 yrs old by the year.

Was always kinda in to it, but when first starting out just was about the boom being stupid 18 year old just wanted pounding bass, I think I went through a phase where treble didn't exist it was just bass then starting realizing that sounds like *** then started adding more highs etc etc.... and now i prefer SQ over spl
I started out with subs, which I still use when I was 16 or 17. I figured it was good to have a car stereo because your parents still ca't tell you to turn it down on the road. Then I went to buy speakers Picked up my 3 way set cause the price is right. I figured I could do a show or two with them if I added a little gear. I have only become more and more obessesed since then.

I alwasy wanted mids/highs and a cd player but I thought that subs were the dumbest thing EVER.
One time my step brother took me out in his car, with 2 Pyle Driver 10's and an MEI amp. I listened to the song So Many Tears by 2Pac and fell in love with subs.
I went out and had a stereo for my car long before I could drive and had it installed and ready to go on my first day I could drive.
Ever since then, I just put more and more money into it.
