well i started just doin decks when i was 16 when they closed the pittsburgh store down. they moved all the inventory to the butler store and hired me to help with the move and i just kinda stuck around since then. I became the lead installer (not custom installs though) and then moved to sales and service manager after the guy that had been doing it the whole time i was there left. So i did that and still installed, and when i felt like there was nothing else to learn there i bought my first hatch and just started toying around with performance stuff and just kinda learned from experience.

I'm pretty suprised the Stinger bought SP though, hopefully quality doesn't change because selects install stuff was wicked...i remember they had this super glue that would glue a midget to the roof, but it was like 45 bucks a bottle or something retarded. Stingers always done good stuff so im sure they should hold up.

I'm also suprise PPI got swapped over again. They weren't the same when DEI bought them as they were back in the old days of the big ass art series they did. Those things were so bad ass. I'm really suprised that beast of DEI actually sold something...they usually are the ones buying all the stuff. Sounds like PPI is getting to be like MB quart and just tossed around like a cheap whore on the streets. But thanks for the update...i really hate being out of the loop. car audio really is my first love that got me started into cars.
