Hi Guys,

I'm an installer by trade mainly 2-way radio so I don't have too much experience in the car audio and security fields.  I 've come up with new automotive lighting products and would appreciate some suggestions as to which magazines most of you guys subscribe to so I can start placing Ads. My main target is the southern united states since winter will be approaching soon. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Raj

Car sound and performance (I have gotten this one for free since I first got certified and don't know why, at least 7 years), car audio and electronics(probably the most popular), and there used to be auto sound and security, but I haven't seen that one in a long time. There are some other more trade related that mostly installers and shops get.

Mobile Electronics is by far the best trade mag. It used to be 'Installation News' Years ago (Older guys will remember it) But it is geared towards the retail shops with new products, selling tips, install tips, car notes. Check it out at www.me-mag.com

Also, for installers and salemen, you can get a free subscription.

Sorry redlight I posted the above by accident. To tell you the truth Import Tuner was my next choice, I'm gonna wait and see how Performance Autosound & Security performs over the next two months and take it from there.  Thanks for the suggestion , makes me feel good that my thinking is not totally off.

Cheers,

Raj
