im a 24 year old ex army ranger. my primary job was a mechanic. ive spent my time in afganistan and iraq. i am currently employed by a major refinery. i have been installing since i was 14. i am mecp certified. ive done mild to wild installs. like many ive been bitten by the audio bug. so im always open to learn new things and judging from what i have seen recently i am at the right place. and remember anything worth doing is worth taking the time to do right. rangers lead the way

live like theres no tomarrow because today may be your last.

Hey fellas, been in the retail biz for 7 years. I currently work for a custom shop in Mt. Airy NC. I am the lead installer/shop mgr. Ive always worked local and have a good amount of repeat customers. Never had any MECP training, just experience. I have been my current location for 4 years now, The Audio Video Spot. I have done quite a few custom jobs in the past few years. Recently had an installation featured in a mag, Road+Track Road Gear, check out the 350Z. Anyways, I currently dont have a stereo worth a crap in my ride, but thats all about to change, getting a new truck in the next couple of months, I'll post pics when I start.

Hey guys,

Well I'm by no means a professional, but, I'm studying for the MECP exam now. I installed my first radio at about 12 years old, and my first entire system (H/U, amps, speakers) before I could even drive legally. I do all my learning mostly on my own vehicles, and apply that knowledge to help frined and make a few exra bucks here and there. I have recently gotten into alarms/remote starts as well. I'm also going to college for civil engineering.

Uhmm, I'm new to this Forum but I'll introduce myself.

My name is Juddi and I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I work at Fry's Electronics as a Car audio/video installation tech. I've been installing for 2 years now at Fry's. I got into the job because they needed installers and I was the next best qualified for the position since I went to school for automotive repair. I race cars for a hobby and I build them to race. I'm 22 y ears old... and uhmm.. what else... I dunno. Any question just ask I guess. :)

Hey, my name's Ben Cline. I'm 23. I go to school at Linn Tech. This is my first year in electronics, and at this school. I'm an EET major. I've installed about 30 head units for other people and just a few amps. I've probably had 12 stereos in my vehicles over the past 6 years, something like 8 in my Bronco, which I've had for a year. I really enjoy it. I do a bunch of electrical work for my friend in his vehicles. He's a DJ, but I know more about car stereos than he does. It's something I enjoy, but I'm trying to get more into other electronics.

I noticed how many newbies there are to electronics. I guess they gets larger every day, but I haven't noticed with being on the other forums I'm on. I have over 4,100 posts on TCCoA, I've got a few hundred on SoundIllusions.net and a couple others here and there. I got bored at TCCoA. Not much stuff to do over there, so I came over here again and figured I'd help a few of the newbies out here.

We're at the half-point in class, so we've already gone through most of the DC basics. Ohm's Law, Thorton, Wheat-stone bridge, relays. Starting on AC this week.

Current electrical things I'm working on:

Trying to fix fried amplifiers and CD players

Making my own LED underbody kits

Making my own wig-wags (I have several friends in the volunteer fire department that would appreciate this)

I just haven't gotten around to check out the last two things.

Nice to meet you. Hopefully I'll be doing some posting here and getting good grades in class. :D

I used to work at Installer Institute. Who runs this forum, I may know them.

I am a boring electrical engineer now.

I sure would love to open a reatil car audio store of 'my' own. Any investors out there? :)
