i've heard a lot of people complaning about the simple boxes and repetitive installs on there. one thing to keep in mind is how quick they do these jobs. i've worked in the norteast at shops like wills and time is always the issue.  i went out to wcc and saw them do thier stuff and they keep a car a month or so to work that magic. i know inthe atl cats want sound but usualy can't stand to be without thier new toy too long. how long do you guys keep a big job for?>??

I can't stand that show. I saw one box they built for someone and all it was, was a simple normal box and then the guy was like "and now for my specialty", and all he did was cut some triangles and made the top into a v shape. I have yet to see something audio related that impressed me.

They that show is all it is. A show. Those installs are all the same with w7s. And those boxes that remme makes seem like they have no science to them. Looks like he just builds them to fit nicely into the cars. No bracing at all to help box resonancy or anything else. Just a weak box

I have had the Commander in my bay for just shy of a month now, it has another month to go. It has had two installers on it while time permits, myself and Velocity Motors for the last week and a bit. Now just myself and a couple of noob's that are real wet behind the ears still. I expected this vehicle to take about a month and a half to complete with a installer tasked only to it.

 one thing that did impress was when they drove like 300 miles picked up a car and just did windo tint. that was commitment. of course about three shows later the guy brought the car back and dropped a bundle. this goes to show that you can't go wrong by doing those extra little things for the customer. i find myself saying well whats cool about that?? to my installers all the time.
