| Seeking someone...
Wondering if anyone knows Patrick Ng, an audio installer from Vader Speed/Sound way back in the days 2002-2005...haha...
Had some questions about audio setup.
Appreciate any positive feedback and contact info.

^^ that was not a very thoughtful answer nor very polite.
And yes...there might be some experts on RS. But I am a old fart being in the import scene/carshows since 1999, tend to recall these OGs installers/carguys that once roam here knowing a lot more than you think. i.e. custom performance/audio fabricators, custom one-off audio setups etc.
Sometimes you need to respect your elders, son.

I’ve been into car audio since the first under the dash decks came out. I was one of the first people to have a car alarm. Built it using home alarm system. Complete with key on/off switch. Yeah, a lot has changed since the sixties.
Also, not many people can say they’ve been IASCA zone champion and represented BC/AB in the World Finals.
Yeah, gotta respect your Edlers.
BTW, I am also seeking someone. Not god, though. I found that guy long ago and parted ways.

Since when does being in import car shows since 1999 make you old? I think half of us are creeping in on that era. I feel 18! Minus the aches and pains every morning! Lol

I had passive crossovers and rear speakers hidden in the rear shelf. The custom built passive crossover for the front speakers were in the glove compartment. The crossovers were built so you could readily change the caps and coils. The speakers were all Nakamichi. Again, B stock. Centre channel speakers were hidden behind the centre air vents. The system was completely independent of the car's electrical system and was turned on by the cigarette lighter. The front tweeters were in the corners of the dash, mounted in air drying clay and covered with speaker cloth that matched the interior. I remember stripping down the car to bare metal. The front dash was taken out completely. All this was done in my garage. The installation was not the bulk of the work. It was the tweaking of the system that took countless all nighters. I had an Audio Control EQL to fine tune the system. First by ear, then off to any car audio shop that would let me use their RTA to get it perfect.

Came into the thread expecting a "missed connections" post.
Could this actually be a story about OP and his quest to find the car audio guy that setup his system and stole his heart?

Re: seeking. I suspect you found a fraudulent representation of what you were looking for. He’s too compelling to ignore.

It was a warm autumn day at Stanley Park. You were there in white leggings and and a pink shirt. I was wearing dark jeans and a grey T-shirt with ‘1973’ written on it. Are you interested in meeting for coffee?

Sometimes you need to respect your elders, son. | Now cars are a little more complicated with airbag systems, parking sensors, electronically assisted driving aids, etc. As well as different materials being used as opposed to thick ass steel in the old days, now its all super thin high strength steel, aluminum, and a 100 different types of plastics. Honestly, I wouldn't go with an OG person for working on late model car now unless it's a classic or within their era. The car's now are completely different than it was 20 years ago.

Well, some installers keep up with the latest in technologies. At least the good ones do. Positive about that is, they not only know what's needed now, but have that rare thing called, experience.
Ever see a master mechanic troubleshoot and find the root of the problem, while them fancy computers................ nuff said. It's late and I'm tired. Em out!
