kicker and circuit city!

I work at CC as well. I knew we were getting Kicker and possibly Eclipse, but not too sure on that one. Also, say bye-bye to Code Alarm and hello again to DEI. Not just alarms and remote starters either.Wildkind Concepts

when are the stores going to actually start carring it all?

As far as I know, we will start in the spring some time.Wildkind Concepts

In April

i am disturbed by your comment of being proud of putting out more intalls in a day than anyone else jman. im sick of having to fix bb and cc's crappy installs. as an installer, you should understand that the time it takes to do install doesnt matter, but the quality of it does. god i hope you guys dont get eclipse. you guys can keep audiobahn and mtx. and oh well with kicker, the U.S. is becoming a pure capitalist country that disregards quality, as long as companies like adire keep popping up we will be ok. a lot of opinions compacted into a few sentence but you guys get the pointPioneer PEH-9660mp

OK, fair enough, I just wanted to know because the only info I could find about that is in the well thought out, corprate rant on the CC website. It actually looks very much like Best Buy's. I now feel the need to point out that quantity doesnt nessasarily translate into quality. While the work that your particular shop does might be very good, that doesnt nessasarily hold up for the chain. When I read your previous post on page 3 it just seemed like a litle bit to much self promotion for my tastes, which is also why I asked where you got the numbers from. And if you want an exact number for the first 3 quarters of last year CC was trending down 2.7%, which isnt nessasarily a big deal, just most chains are only ever happy with forward momentum and get kinda pissy when they sit still. I havent seen the 4 quarter or year end numbers yet. I'm glad buisness is good in your end of the world though.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

Cars don't have problems from quick installs.  Now what does cause problems are the newbies who are messing around with car electronics that haven't been properly trained.  Now if you have been around the block bullman you would know that quick installers are generally good installers because of the knowledge base they have and the ability to apply it to different cars.  Even while working at a custom shop I took pride in being able to get installs done quickly that never came back with issues .  I apply that with all of the associates I manage today.  It has more to deal with work ethic and pride than anything else I also apply this ethic to my installers and make sure they also are able to make this happen.  And no I dont cut quality in any way and find myself fixing more of our local competitors screw ups which include a major retailer and 2 ma and pa shops.  And to put it all forward into this I'm proud of putting out more installs each day solely because I have a ton of repeat customers and a lot of word of mouth that keeps atleast my shop busy with cars open to close.  And no I'm not dogging any other chain or store out there because I have seen many other shops that ran a truly good business and I know what kind of work it takes to do this and likewise I have seen CC shops that are poorly ran.  And being from Canada you should remember who is going to intercept that missile before it makes it to you and I can gaurantee it is not France.  Sorry about the length guys. 

I'm sorry I was looking at the the wrong member name with the last comment please disregard. 

a truly good installer should be a perfectionist. if you are at all worried about speed, then you are taking some focus from the quality of your intall. i used to install invisible fences. i personally only worried about quality and would get a perfect install done in a standard time. the guy who trained me who was capable of doing insanely well done installs(which he did while i was in training) was more concerned with speed after my training. i had to go back and fix some of his work and honestly, the couple of guys who cared more about how everything looked and functioned, and did not worry about how long it took them, put out the best installs. im not saying that you are conciously putting out crappy work, but when you are trying to beat the clock, almost everyone takes shortcuts even when they do not know itPioneer PEH-9660mp
