Sad but true. Love that you shed light on this topic when nobody else will

WoW..... never crossed my mind.....

Solid information right there

Now I need to ask do we need an "African American" to make anything to distribute and control every product we buy? We can't even get "African American" businesses in our own neighborhoods. Who as "African American" Rush to spend our money with?

@@constantine2731 I got the point and ran with it. I have my own business. Global economy waits for no one.

I can only say that most industries are gate kept by the big companies and bad attitudes by the customers. There was a little shop here in my home town . The owner started making his own subs and tons of people talked a lot of shit. This was around 2000(ish). You'd think locals would prop them up but they didn't... Sure a few did but a lot more talked shit. They finally broke throw and could not be denied, then and only then did people start rocking the logo (Addictive Audio). Regardless of someone's background its damned hard and even harder for those with less means. All we can do is identify and work with the smaller companies that stand behind their products and prop them up when we can. I honestly would love to see more stuff made here as well. Give kids the opportunity to work and actually make the products they are interested in.. it would snowball from there.

Valid point. Respect. And Addictive Audio is great stuff.

That's really off topic, so you may not get a response. I'll give you my opinion. That combination of components sounds fine. Do a run of 1/0 ofc from the front battery to the amp. 300A fuse. The only tricky part might be getting a good signal to the amp. Have you got that worked out yet?

Preach

If an African American were to come out with a line of products which were competitive in the market I see no reason they wouldn't be successful. Its a hard matket to be competitive in though. So many brands fighting for limited real estate. Plus you are not going to dethrone the major 10 or 15 largest companies. That being said car audio isn't a market you would think of being full of gatekeepers. Its full of excentric personalities and all walks of life. Im sure there are many African Americans providing their input into the production of car audio equipment. I'm sure there will be an African American owned business soon as well....

People tend to excel in things that they're interested in, perhaps AA's aren't interested in car audio enough to pursue careers in car audio. There are multitudes of AA's in every other aspect of music.

That’s a hard truth. Combination of gatekeepers and motivation. People of color are seen as a source of revenue. Ownership is coming… One battle at a time

I think its because no African Americans started any car audio companies. Do you know of any who tried to start a car audio company and was stopped for various reasons?

No I do not

Hmm. Slowly working on it. Just don’t want a “COPY AND PASTE” product.

You think people know if the owner of Skar audio is African American, or Sundown or DS18, no probably less than 1% of the consumer market knows ANYTHING about the brand owner. if an african american were to get with China and have GOOD equipment manufactured, marketed it right (most likely using a hip hop artist to market) the stuff would fly off the shelf if performance/price made sense. my point is, its not skin color thats to blame, its business sense or marketing plain and simple. get Rick Ross to back you and the right build house and you or any other African American could make insane money in car audio.

Why can't we be proud of our accomplishments like everyone else?

No African American distributor? Do we know an African American who tried to be a distributor? No African American Sound Engineer? Do we know an African American who tried to be a Sound Engineer? If we answer NO then maybe it’s just a lack of motivation on the African American to pursue a career in this field…. Let’s just be honest. Both of these fields aren’t very sexy. One of them is very “nerdy” the other is kind of “hit or miss.” There is A LOT more in the world that glitters. There is A LOT more in the world that looks like gold. These are the things MOST people chase.

Sir a electromechanical engineer is the owner of every REPUTABLE car audio brand out. The owners are millionaires. Distribution of products is like D4S, 1800woofers, Amazon, and the like. The owners are millionaires Your point is invalid. People do things not because it ‘sexy’( I don’t know why you used this term to discuss business), and ‘nerdy’ is the basis of commerce today. Nerds, as you call them, innovate. I’m a nerd, that’s how and why I build boxes. African Americans are underrepresented in the ownership of car audio brands and their distribution. And it’s not from ‘lack of motivation’ as you stated.

@@M.B.Enclosures your video said there is NO African American distributors. There is NO African American Electromechanical Engineer. I asked if you knew an African American that persued this career path? The underrepresentation you speak of is due to the African American pursuing a different career path. I used the word “sexy” because you do what attracts you. Your career path is dictated by what calls you to it. You build boxes but you didn’t always do this for a living. After you finally answered this calling, you now do it full time.
