Manufactures, I thought you were on my side

That's, that's so sad, you know, but that brings us to our topic.

Oddly enough, your butt brings us to the topic.

Yeah.

And so this was a fun one.

And I don't know, fun, funny.

It all both starts with F, which my favorite word also starts with F, which I won't say right now.

But, you know, I'm just saying I'm from the right age group.

Manufacturers, I thought you were on my side.

That's the topic title we came up with.

So the idea here or the thought is, you know, cars aren't getting any easier.

And even the older cars that we thought at one point were easy are now being more complicated just because the things that people want us to put in them are more complicated, you know.

six seven eight nine ten years ago when we were when these cars first came out you know dsp wasn't a thing and and advanced installation techniques you know 3d printing brackets and amp racks and you know you could just throw an amp on the back seat and everything was cool now if you do that you're like you know like oh i ain't gonna do that And then some of these cars, even back then, had very complicated amplifier systems in them.

And so we

have a hard

job now.

We have integration and manufacturing and all these things that we're doing in the bay.

And products, as we both know, are not any cheaper.

It's not like stuff is...

It's double, if not triple...

The price of what this stuff used to be in some cases.

Now, there are still some cheap products out there.

That's cool.

But we're talking, I guess, more of the higher-end stuff.

You know, whatever.

But when a manufacturer uses us as either A, their beta... you know, Hey, let's just throw it out in the market and let these guys test this and tell us, tell us what's wrong with it, which sucks.
