Default Audio drama!!

We are currently seeing exactly what this video describes. I am not a huge fan of MMATS but, The fact that I mention them gets people to look up specs and creates internet traffic.

This is a lengthy video but, it tell us what is currently happening in the Sled audio community too. All the hate and discontent continues to grow and it is actually free advertising for these products and shops. Enjoy!

I'm confused. No one displayed any hate with regard to mmats products that I've seen. They're recommended quite often here because 80% of the guys that come here want something thats better than stock crap and get loud and clear for a very fair price but will never be at a competition level...like me. I get you dont like them and thats your right, but that fact hasn't resulted in any hatred.

He's referring to sled audio as a whole. And yes there is a lot of hatred.

I agree 100%. Too much bs when you even think about the competition side of things.
I think some of the problems comes from venders. What was great last week is now garbage because we have this new product that is awesome. True in some cases but mostly just to continue sales and get people to replace their equipment. That’s all about revenue and not growing the sport. You also have venders that push products based on profit margins instead of the products themselves.

100%.

there’s a post on social media getting blasted by a vendor selling a speaker they have never heard, but it’s new. That **** pisses me off. Shops that have never produced a winning bike just copy the pack leaders or find ways to sell you junk.

I had a well know bike brand tell me he could come out with last years version of a speaker, put a different sticker on it and guys would buy it because it’s new.

And he's 100% correct. Too many untruths being told and sold on the audio market.

Sean Bollinger has been around a long time. He helped Jacob Fuller out a lot in the beginning of Sundown Audio. He's a **** stirrer, but he's often correct.

I didn't watch your video and frankly don't really feel like wasting my time on it. It seems to me like a lot of this drama didn't really happen until you started going at it spouting off all your BS. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say, you're a shix stirrer and just seem to spout off to get people pissed off. This forum is a great place for folks to get together and help each other get better audio. I don't think you've said one single thing to help anyone. So, with that said, thanks for nothing Reg
