Did Autosound Bedford Close

[Scott Mc]

Carsounds on Rufe Snow is where I go. They sell JL and Kenwood as their preferred with several other lines. Eric went to work for a company that does the hard to do work for collision centers and the old man retired due to some health issues.

I was about to say, it's cause you are getting old motherfucker!

The factory B&O ain't bad!

[BradM]

I'd imagine it would be a tough business to be in these days. I listen to more podcasts, talk radio, and books on tape than I do music, and when I do listen to music, the factory system is pretty adequate. More bass would be good, but I don't want to sacrifice storage for subs and amps.

Fuck this getting old nonsense.

From what Jose told me, he got of the sound business all together, I can't seem to remember what, but we were drinking and doing shots, so I forgot, but I do remember the part of him not doing stereo stuff anymore...

Oh, so you're just sexist then?

No excuses next time!

[bcoop]

LMMFAO!!!

Brent, I know you don't mean that, you know I'm married to a white girl, my kids are half whiteys and iirc, Jose's girl is white.

Besides, Jose sez he's posted us going to watch UFC at Tight Ends multiple times and no one ever shows up.

What, do you need me to Sext you a personal invite?

Of course I don't mean it. I'm just saying none of your white friends ever hear from you anymore, homie!

WTF? I love white people (girls!!)! I'll be sure to personally invite you next time

[Jose]

You two jackwagons must be racist. Why do you hate white people so much?

Ya I stopped by Autosound a couple of months or so ago to see if Eric wanted to have lunch and was surprised at what I saw. Store looked to be in disarray and I didn't recognize the guy behind the counter. No reason for me to go back.

Talked to Eric a couple of days later and was happy to hear that he's doing pretty well. Asked him for a recommendation on who to go to for work and he turned me on to Mobile Sound Systems in Arlington. A few other people recommended them as well and they've been around forever, I used to see them when I cruised Cooper St. back in the 90's so they must be doing something right.

So where did Eric head off to?

I think there's still people who enjoy high quality audio while driving.

I'll usually at least do a speaker upgrade depending on the car. Even that is getting more difficult though. On newer FCA products the head unit will go into a limp mode if the speaker impedance isn't almost exactly what it expects so certain brands don't work and will shut down the entire system.

[Gasser64]

Seems like the small places could hold out, especially in a good economy. There’s plenty of folks that have no desire to install it themselves. Especially if you set one up around a lake... boats.

I think there's still people who enjoy high quality audio while driving. I'm one of em, but I've only got it in 1 of the 4 vehicles I drive at irregular intervals. For me though, killing road noise comes first though. I want the road noise as low as it can be made for a given vehicle, then a decent sound system installed. And I think you're right, many people have no desire to install it themselves.

[Treybiz]

Oh wow! I haven't actually been there since he left, but someone else was telling me they went by there and it's totally changed, and they're selling lame crap now, so I'd avoid them anyway.

Sadly, the small brick and mortar car audio places are almost extinct. I'd probably hit up Mobile Sound Systems on Cooper St in Arlington if I was in DFW and needed something I couldn't get online. Truthfully, though, I haven't been in that place in almost 20 years, but it's the last place I ever dealt with prior to becoming a customer of Autosound.

It didn't look like it used to with plenty of nicer/high-end stuff stacked up but I didn't really stick around very long when I figured out the door was locked.

And as follow up..... Some lady from there called me back this morning and said she had a missed call from me. Almost a full week later. I politely mentioned they might actually want to be there during their advertised business hours. (I didn't leave a voicemail or anything so aparently they are just calling people back. Lol must be sloooow)
