It occured to me today that in order to "do" great mobile audio one must be in the correct frame of "mind". So here is a list of truths that you either subscribe to (and do great mobile audio) or don't (and need to get there in order to do great mobile audio):

* boss = woman
* slave = man
* captured = married/have girlfriend
* liberated = divorced/lost girlfriend
* recaptured = remarried/new girlfirnd
* to preach = to give a car audio advice
* open mind = ready to learn about car audio
* to exist = to do car audio
* to die = to stop doing car audio
* trivial being = someone who does not do car audio
* to arrive = to buy a car without any car audio in it
* to leave = to buy a car with a factory system good enough not to replace
* noise = people talking while you're trying to listen to car audio
* poison = rational decisions about expenive car audio
* invisible trolls = little buggers who hide your tools, accessories, components and snipe every good car stereo deal you've ever found.

Yes - and here is how I would relate those:

Fundamental #1 = The BIG 3
MA Intelligence = Knowing why the BIG 3 is so important
Going Active = One giant step for MA...
Myth = Things that only make SQ improvements in the owner's head
"Omniscience" = Knowing the right questions to ask those in the know
and
Old School = The same SQ at 1/4 the price

These are great additions, any more? ...I'm thinking not many (others) are getting the "jist" of this thread...

Great wisdom. Many thanks.
Miserable = Me, when wife is PMS
Happy = Me, when I find a shipping box on my doorstep. Bonus when it is at lunch time. Go back to work happier.
Joy = When I opened my new DIYMA sub this week.
Music = Life

Live every day as if it were your last!

Nice... excellent additions - each hitting home on a personal experience true MA enthusiasts have had (although I'm still waiting for my turn at DIY nirvana)

Exactly, and without question that was my understanding too. I was "jisting" about the fact that others were not chiming in. Maybe they will now...

Thought - maybe these could all be be combined into a "Terms of Reference" list - then we could all speak in "code" to one another. Although if we did this we would also have to claim ourselves to be the group of All-Time Nerds , relinquish any self-dignity we may have had, as well as any hope of ever getting laid again...

I read this to WIFE -- we had a discussion about the price of my new Power 1000 yesterday -- I have found it is " Easier to get forgiveness than to get permission "

Funny: laugh:

Translated:

Obsessive Compulsive = Even if your MA audio ain't broke, fix it to death anyway.

or maybe it's:

Type "A" Maximus = Even if your MA audio ain't broke, fix it to death anyway.

It's likely a combination of the two...

And this one I'm certain of:

MA Audio Man's Last Resort = It's easier to beg forgiveness than permission.
