Man, I haven't done anything with the stereo in my 1973 Datsun 240Z for MANY YEARS, but when the foam surrounds on my MODEST 6X9 Alpine subwoofer rotted and started to sound farty, I went out to look for a replacement yesterday. What an exercise in frustration that was ...
1. Nobody over the age of 17 works in any car stereo shop.
2. Nobody 17 years old or under knows OR CARES what MUSIC sounds like.
3. Nobody manufactures a MODEST subwoofer any more ... 24" is the smallest diameter that is commercially available without having to special order it. I think it is because most 17 year olds have such tiny penises that they have to compensate somehow. Geez it must suck to be a 17-year-old girl!
4. When you ask for a subwoofer smaller than 24", nine 17-year-olds go into cardiac arrest ... perhaps as the blood rushes to the aid of their tiny penises ... the only amusing part of the day.
5. Not only that, but apparently it is much more important to LOOK cool than to sound good, because subwoofers are NOT black any more ... they are chrome and pink and have raised white lettering like goddamn Uniroyals!
6. Apparently, nobody listens to music in cars because they are all too busy screwing around with their systems so that they can enter friggin' COMPETITIONS!
7. And worst of all, and I kid you not; when they are finished dinking around with their systems so that they can enter competitions, they wear ear protection so that they won't damage their ears when they turn the volume up to 800 dB! Am I missing something here, or what?
I am done, later guys! Mike.
