Listen Up! Some Car Audio Equipment is Frustrating

I bought my youngest son a small gardening trowel from the dollar store to use when he and I go metal detecting. The rod that connects the blade to the handle started to bend after being used six times. No, not six outings. Six attempts to dig small objects out of soft, damp dirt.

Listen Up! Some Thoughts on Counterproductive Car Audio Marketing

I’ve been a magazine guy for more than 35 years. I used to read four car audio and six car magazines every month.

All of this was even before I got into the magazine industry as a writer and started my career in car audio marketing. Being overly technical in my approach to Read more

If you were into car audio in the ’90s, you’ve likely heard of amplifiers having mixed-mode or tri-mode capability.
