Russ here....
1. I am a student at u of T, almost finished (thank you hey-zeus). I also work as a blue collar forklift driver type guy at Labatt Brewery during year.
2. Car audio is my hobby, one of quite a few. Like most people, when the money and time allows for it, mostly.
3. I first got into it when I got my full licence and the second half of my final OSAP loan (one of the main reasons it was my last loan, hehe), probably shortly before or after I joined this board, circa late 2000/early 2001 or so.
4.I have yet to compete, aminly because as soon as I 'finish' a setup, I move on to the performance aspect of the car that I am driving at the moment. I get shifty that way..
I would like to at least check out a few shows this spring/summer. I dont think I will compete, my truck is a convertible, thus no competitions, etc..
cheers

I'm a Recording Crew Manager for a large Siesmic company.(We find Oil and natural gas...what they do before they drill a well.) I mostly work on projects overseas; Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
I've been into car audio since before I could drive. It's my main hobby, although I have a couple of others that cost more. I enjoy the constant learning involved, it keeps me young. I mean who would do this stuff if they were sane?
What? You mean we can judge this insanity?
Cool
