Posted February 10, 201114 yr Simple as the title states, what's the best way into the industry?I have been wracking my brain for over a year now, and it's the only career I want.
February 10, 201114 yr Admin I will say this, it is not an industry to make big money in. There are only a small handful of people at the top of the industry that are really making it happen money wise. The market is flooded with cheap products, and the race to zero and ebay is driving that tidal wave of cheap cheap cheap. Top end brands have been falling one by one. It is an industry in flux at the moment, and I promise you the fun is sucked out of it once you are doing it for a job. I have been working in and around car audio in some fashion, on and off since 1996 and it has never once been my primary source of income.

So what do you do besides car audio, and what all do you have your hands dipped into, audio wise?

So what do you do besides car audio, and what all do you have your hands dipped into, audio wise?I have been doing structural modeling and design as a career since about 2003, in some form or another. Audio wise, I sold it in a couple of different stores early on, installed for a bit, then managed two different shops during under grad, ran a couple of shows way back when, and since 2002 SSA. Yikes, just noticed the 32k. To bass, I am not trying to poo poo your idea, just don't want people to think it is this big glamorous industry where people are rolling in it. The products have been so watered down. There is less and less original offerings and brands left.
