Looking at that install, I must say that for a 1st attempt, yeah its great, smooth job on the wiring, looks as good as the installs I've seen come out of Soundsaround here in Calgary. But I just want to know one question.
what kind of business, honestly... this is driving me nuts. WHAT BUSINESS DOES HE OWN???!! Is it legal? the only "business" that I know of that allows a 19 year old to buy a $40k Benz involves white powder or something else along those lines. When I was 20, I attempted to pioneer my own Limousine company. It would of been a smashing success, but there were no reason to expect any immediate profits of more then $300/ month for the first 5 years until the $160K limo was paid off, and that was if nothing catastrophic happens. And that was within the first 5 years, of blood sweat and tears. As it is now, it would be another 3 years from this point before I could expect any large profit margins. So yes I know a fair share about business, I really do. Please understand, Im only curious, really curious, because if a 19 y.o. can afford a car like that, already, I'm doing something very wrong. since Im 22, and only driving a (really nice) mazda mx6, I need to get my crap together fast. If its legal and honest, I want to do something like that over here, since thats really something. My apologies, if it really is his car, and he paid for it HIMSELF, then my hat goes off to you, you must really be something. All I want to know, is how you did it.

Well a limo business isn't going to make as much money as a lot of businesses. There was a 18 year old here who started his own "adult content" website. He drove a vry nicely done up Maxima, a convertable Vette, and had a nice crotch rocket. All paid off before he turned 20. This was about 7 years ago. He moved to Calagry when he was 20-21 I think. There are lots of businesses that can get you nice stuff if you work hard AND smart.

interesting. Business ownership is the way to go. Did you know that the founder of Zapco was in his very early 20's, when he started the company? He grew it into a fairly large business, then hired the right CEO's to take over, now hes into large Finance and stuff, doing remarkibly well. Jobs suck, My car, is onlly worth $8k, yet its still worth more then the first three of my bosses vehicles combined. Im still really interested in regards to what Miluni did. Can anybody tell me? honestly!

If you have that much of a hard on to find out what type of buisness he owns, why not contact him privately? Afte the "kind" words you gave him in previous posts, I don't blame the guy for not wanting to share any more information to you. Stop being an and people might want to carry more than a 3 sentance converation with you. And seriously, why do you care so much about where someone gets their posessions from? One thing I have learned about haters is that 9 times out of 10 they hate becaus they can't afford. I give the guy props for owning a buisness and having the ability to purchase nice things.

And for those who are calling his gear crap...open your fricken eyes! My first system consisted of a Audiovox pull out tape deck that was strapped to the underdash of my 1980 Citation. I had matching Audiovox "Silver" series 6x9's that couldn't have been seeing more than 10 watts. I would say that for a first system, his gear is pretty dame good. Yes the install is somewhat to be desired, but we all started somewhere.

I am sick of coming on here and seeing trash talk between people. This used to be a place where people could come for friendly advise from people who are able to share some of their knowlage.
