Hey man,

I have a Car audio\Performance parts business in Peterborough,
Crab Performance, I have DD Audio, Lanzar, Pyle, Legacy, Pyramid, (Possibly picking up RE audio and US Amps) I can get Blaupunkt and Clarion as well, good to see another business in town, I was hoping to open a full storefront shop this year but that depends on funds.

I ahve been in car audio industry for 13+ years

If you went to any of the Kawartha shows or the 2 Futureshop shows last year you would have seen us all there in the red shirts.

Anyway I wish you good luck man and all the best

Garett

Well Ben i don't blame her,moveing to that little shack and haveing all the product stocked pile high,was dark in there to and what happen'ed two years before that.

I think if she had gotten the unit at the front unstead of the very end alot more bussiness would of come in.

Think of a name that would relay to a 7 year old what your business does. Also pick something not offensive to someone in their 50's.

Car audio, remote starts, and alarms are what I hope to be doing to get this business on it's feet. I want to do custom home but as I said earlier, it is VERY expensive to get started in that. The custom home market is usually age 30-55 and I have realized the name is very controversial, offensive? I'm not so sure of. The name does catch some good attention though, thats what I like. Being the college/university town that Peterborough is, I hope to draw in that crowd.

I also think the exterior look of the shop will have a big influence on the crowd that I draw in. Any suggestions on appearance. I really do appreciate all of the input I'm getting from you guys, I like to hear all of the sides and don't take offense to any of it.

Don't call it black market audio. That just sounds like you're selling stolen mechandise and or cheap crap/junk.
