Custom Installs.....
Just wondering who would pay for a custom install, something as complicated as a full fiberglass enclosure to as simple as a HU or wiring installation. I've been contemplating the potential of opening a small shop that would specialize in this category, and not actual merchandise sales. The shop would probably involve everything from pre-fab boxes, made-to-order boxes, custom kicks, amp racks, wiring, and fiberglassing of all sorts. Business would probably be by appointment only. This isn't directed towards the "usuals" in the forum, as I know most of you are pretty self-sufficient...but instead your friends and those who may browse the site but not post as often. Speak up if you'd be interested in this type of work, but don't want to pay the "big shop" prices.

That wouldn't be a bad way to start off. But I would be willing to bet that the majority of most shops installs probably come from there equipment sales.
Eventually I myself would like to own a high end home theater and car audio store.

I never hear much about these "mom and pop" shops. I'm hoping agressive advertising would be the key to success. Get the word out and let our actual work do the rest of the talking.

Trust me, doing custom systems is big money and once you get a respected repuation out there you'll be inundated with work. It's also good to frequent the local car and audio shows to display some of your best work. All in all it's a fun, and profitable business venture, just a heads up though. Don't open the shop during the summer months, those are the slowest time for Car audio.
