Who are you? Introduce yourselves.

[b00gers]

I am seeing a few new faces around here and want to know more about you. How about we give a little information or background on ourselves? I have a 1999 Integra that I have put quite a few different systems through. I learned from my friend who did work in his alley about 7 years ago. I am not too heavily into car audio such as joining competitions or whatever, but I just like music...played properly I have never studied academically on this stuff, so the advice and information I give out is mostly based on my personal experiences.

I drive a 98' Accord Coupe. I've always been into audio stuff, taking old speakers apart and stuff. I work in the Car Audio Dept. of Best Buy in Altamonte Springs. I can't say I've had a ton of different systems, what I have has been a step-by-step thing. I never had a chance to learn anything the wrong way. I wasn't allowed to,lol. The person I learned from has been installing for 12 some odd years, and I have yet to meet anyone to top him. I'd like to say I know a little bit about car audio. Im studying,for lack of a better word, for my MECP certifications

[b00gers]

Good to have an installer here. Youre probably much more up to date than I am on products.

[GSR_Sedan]

i have a 94 integra, and have always been into car audio and know how to wire up a pretty good system.

[mr.crx]

i have a 88 honda crx with two twelves and an 90 acura integra with a hu in it but thats my race car. i learned how to do what i do know about stereo's by trial and error

[totalimmortal]

Its funny. Ill be at work and I always get people that think I know nothing. The best is when two friends come in and one friend is giving the other THE WORST advice about what to buy. Ill ask if they need help, "No man, we got it. I've been doing this for years." Makes my day,lol.

[totalimmortal]

Is anyone else gonna give an intro?

[burnrubber]

i've got a 98Accord and a 02 Accord. 98 is LX has a new stereo system)one 12" MA Audio, Pioneer HU, Jensen amp, Pioneer 6.5s & 6x9s), sunroof, I4, cloth int. 02 is EX V6 fully loaded, all stock

[2legit2quit]

Hey, my name is Chris, and I drive a 92 Prelude. I got into car audio before I actually had a car. Way back in the day, my uncle had a couple of 15's in his civic hatch and that sparked my audio interest. I tried to have the best setup I could in my room growing up, and that when I built my first boxes and custom stuff.

I'm not too big on the killer bass in my car, I focus on the sound quality and cleanliness of the setup. I learned basicly on my own and have always installed all my gear. I've never entered a competition, I just believe somthing you spend a lot of time in, like a vehicle, should have a decent stereo.

The first thing I ever installed in a car was a pair of Pioneer 6.5 two-ways, and now I've installed everything from components, in-dash LCD's, headrest and sunvisor LCD's, to doing HID retrofits in headlights. I've even put a 1985 Nintendo in a car.

[97teg]

Im jeff I have a 97 acura integra. Ive been into car audio i guess since i started driving. Before that I was into home audio. Ill probalby try to get back into home audio after I graduate. Im all sq, dont really care about ground pounders and like reading the technical aspecs about why something works or doesnt work.

[VPUPPY]

I am Vishaun. Been installing stuff since 97 in other ppls cars and eventually started installing professionally for Circuit City in 03. Worked there for 1.5 years and moved so I do this out of my garage now(alarms, radios, etc). Ha, I even started doin mechanical work(timing belts, etc) on ppls cars too. Studying Computer Engineering(very close to electrical) so I know a lot about the theories of electronics and how stuff works. I have a 98 Integra with a medium system. Nothing too big but just fine for my listening pleasure. Also have a Viper 791xv(with some add ons) which is the best investment I have ever made with car electronics.

[akeura369]

what up im j i gotta 90 teg for now with a system, headers, intake, tint, and a bunch of headlight and tail light shit, i think im buying a new teg or an RSX after winter but it depends on what deals i find......anyway, ive always been a bass head and thats what i care about the most id have to say, i got 2 12"s in a bandpass box right now which thump and im planning on getting 2 more in the same type of box...ive always loved subs since i was a little kid, i had 4 12"s in my room by the time i was 12

this is off topic but does anyone know about RSX's? because i found a pretty good deal i might look into but i dono if i should stick with another teg or try the rsx

[slixx002]

Hello Fellow HAN members, Im Randy, 28 and live in So Cal all my life and loving it. Been around the import scene for quite a while now. And having a nice import, my theroy was you had to have nice sounds. At first I didnt know how or what to do with amps, speakers..etc.etc.. So had a friend do the install for me. Boy did he Phuck things up. I had dead lights, blown fuses..etc.. It was a mess. I then started learning how to install audio's my self. Hardest thing I had to figure out was why my set up sounded like crap and I couldnt get max power I needed to the amp. I used a 18aug power line and used the stereo source power for input to the amp!!! Duhh me..

Im more of a speed kinda guy than sounds now. I remember my first event ever was @ a race event in palmdale in like i think 94 or 95. I was like 16-17 and saw Steffan Papadakis (when he was sponsered by JG Engine Dynamics) 91 Black EF hatch platter himself into the low 11's. I didnt know anything about it or felt that 11's was fast untill I actually drove down the 1320's for myself. Ever since then, I have always amired those 11 sec cars and attending the events more often. I found myself installing like little parts from air filters to audio speakers, @ that time there was hardly any cars that was turbo'd. Only the rich could afford it or the sponsered cars have them and not one on the streets had it (that I seen or knew of). I really started heavy engine work when I met Viet Lam of wicked racing. Learned alot from Viet when he and Steff had Honda Pro in Santa Ana. Both really cool guys.

My first car ever was a hand me down old yellow faded beat up station wagon that had rusted green doors. I did all sorts of things to that car till it gave out and I sold it for like 100 bucks. (Suprised I even got 100 bucks for it). My 2nd car was a coupe b18c turbo as well. It was if I could remember in the summer of 96 or 97 that I drove that car down teh 1/4 miles @ 12.8 sec @ 115 mph. Then within the years I worked my way up to a fully built b18c EG turbo. Fastest car I ever owned too bad I never got the chance to time it.

Well thats my intro to who I am and how I got started.

[tegbooster]

whatsup guys.... my name is ryan.... i worked at best buy for a year as a stereo installer.... i generally hang out in the integra forums.... i was MECP certified, but quit before my retest, either way im here to help....

[takisp]

Hey guys, my name is Takis and i just bought an Accord LX 2004 with 25k on it - great shape
i have some experience with repairing cars on the mechanical and electrical side (use to install sound systems in Greece when i was younger and worked in a mechanic shop for fun during the summers)

I used to drive a Ford Contour (noone is perferct...) and i used to post on the contour.org forums for a while - all that until i got t-boned and my car got totaled

So i decided to get in to the Honda space, especially after i worked with my cousin to revive a 1990 Accord EX (alternator, main relay, fuel pump, temperature/fan switches, new speakers, 2 new window regulators for the left side, etc, etc, etc... )
I was driving that car for 4 months now and really loved it so here i am

I've used your forum in the past 10 days quite a bit and found some very useful information so i am now an official member.

Nice to meet you all - i know i will enjoy talking to you

[b00gers]

Welcome

[Mynard]

Hello I'm a Noob on here I know, but I have a lot of knowledge in my 24 years of being a human. I started with car audio after my cousins friend let me ride in his 1980ish Suburban at the age of about 10. He had 4..yes 4 18" kickers pushed by 2 PPI art series amps. I still have the pics...somewhere. Since then I have been a Bass head ever since. I can never forget how much that system hit and I always envied that black truck with limo tint windows running around town hearing him before you saw him.Spending time with my cousin and his friend I learn the basics. Then I got my first car it was a 72 Chevelle ss (dream car since I can remember) with a few engine mods and I had Pioneer HU and 2 sets of 3-way 6x9's with a pioneer amp and 2 12" pioneer free airs. LOL yeah kinda goofy to go all Pioneer but I was only 16. It sounded good though. Went through a few cars since then 96 Civic/ 93 Eclipse GSX/ 03 Civic Lx <--worst car ever!/ 96 Prelude SI.Alot of my experience comes from friends and reading books and magazines. When I find a hobby I get addicted and don't know when to stop. Words from my wife's mouth. Since my daughter was born in 03' I have been busy working on computers and networking, but I still like to BOOM and ride fast even though im a daddy .

[Edgecrusher]

i've got an 05 accord coupe and its all stock except that i dropped a kicker l5 and an infinity 611a reference series amp in it....which pounds. i dont post alot around here because i dont know much and im trying to learn as much as i can by searching through old threads and listening to other peoples problems. right now im planning on getting new speakers and a 4 channel amp and then a bunch of performance modifications (springs, wheels, intake, exhaust, possibly a supercharger.) ive learned a ton though since i've started lurking around here

[Misa]

sup

jani here... 98 accord v6 ex sedan

[kaymorocco]

[desii]

well im ahmad. 16. drive a 94 accord. just looking to learn some new stuff!

[rcurley55]

hmm, I might know a little bit about car audio

but then again, most of you probably don't know/remember me b/c I'm not around as much as I used to be

I should have a new install series of threads soon - they won't be in a honda, but should prove helpful for those who want to learn more about SQ, fabrication, and installation.

[dcautogroup]

Hey yall my names K im new to this page i hope to stay for a while

[gym007]

My name is Jim and I am riding a 2003 Accord Coupe EX. I found this board when I first got the car in late 2002. I was curious to see comments from different people about the car.

Now I am back because I need some expert's opinion before I visit the Honda dealer. It was unfortunate that the problem happened after the car was out of warranty for 2 months. Grrrr... I posted the problem in the Audio/Security forum.

If I post something on this forum, you will see that my comments do not reflect somebody who is knowledgeable about cars. So, pardon me if I ever ask you guys some stupid questions. I guess it will be more stupid if I never ask the stupid question.
