i predict a rise, with our generation (us teens and 20s right now) We are setting the stage for our young to automatically be involved in the era of 'bling' i.e. rims, body kits, sound systems, performance upgrades. This generation is changing cars, no longer are they transportation.
Car audio business will only boom further...literally
I think it will be the same as it is now honostly. I mean some of the best amps ever made are from the early to late 90's,subs on the other hand are better nowadays then back in the day. Alot of companys sold out and arnt what they used to be like Orion,PPI,MB Quart ect. With all the great sub companys out i think more ppl should be looking into only manufacturing amps and build them like all the great old school amps.
I agree with Twiztid... it theoretically can't really progress much farther than this. Sure there will be minor advances in amps and subs like there has been for the past ten (or so) years, but it has reached the point where the technology has pushed the available materials to their limits, and I see only slight advances in the next decade. JBL still makes the best pro-sound drivers in the world, and the basic technology they are using was developed some 20 years ago in most cases.
And Andrizzle, no offense man, but if you are saying that the type of kids that frequent sites like this are going to push the envelope even further... I don't see that happening. To be brutally honest, if the industry were left in the hands of 95% of the members here, technology would go down, not up. We have some serious morons here
i think in 3-4yrs car audio will be 95% online purchases and the only work shops will get is the installation, which aint' bad. and also denim is right 48volts HYBRIDS FTW.
^^^^ that wont happen at all.. theres TONS of people that will go to best buy,cc or a local store for subs and installation, many people buy from the store, they dont trust buying online- they want the brand name and will stick with it

I think you're right to an extent but more and more people are becoming more trusting with purchasing products on the internet.There are lots of security services and laws that are provided for us against internet scams/fraud as opposed to earlier times.
I think u both are right I think car audio trend is spreading but the ppl involved dnt kno what the hell there tlking about like me for instance sure I'm a noob but I have the ambition and willingness 2 learn everything I can about car audio and not every1 is like tht... I learned a hell of a lot since I strted visiting this site b4 I came here I knew nothing about these underground companies and big 3's and ho alt and none of the stuff I kno a lot more than I did sure I'm still a noob but I'm learning more and more every day and I thank u guys for tht... at least the nice guys not the d!cks like renegadesrun... bottom line if every1 has the ambition 2 learn as much as possible and be humble this car audio bussiness will boom like never b4...
Ya i lerned alot from here also, and bcae1... about the big 3... lol i went into a local car audio place ( proly t he most popular around here) i asked him how much u charge to do big 3, hes like what? i had to explain to him run 0 guage from alt.. blah blah... he stil dint get it... just said nvm and walked out
I was talking to an engineering teacher at the state school I went to, she said slowly all the car companies will group together to have the stock voltage of cars be 24 volts, not sure why but she explained it in a comlicated way. Anyone hear real info on this or have a site about it?
yea Nate i have read something about actually...i think it was 24 volts also but i could be wrong...and yea that pretty much what the article said however i remember them sayin it would take a while so its not gonna happen soon
