OK, I'd love too! When I was in early highschool, my father had a customer at his Harley shop named Chuck Cox. Chuck was the (good stuff) salesman at Progressive Audio in Medford, Oregon. One summer night Chuck and Bob came to my dads shop in a Land Rover that was set up for demo of the new Stillwater and Sunfire mobile audio combination (though it was dark and I didnt get to dismantle anything I believe it was riddled with Kicker tens). I was allowed to take part in the demo and was blown away by the absolute clarity and definition of reproduced sound like I'd never heard before. Though I was "into" stereos and was bugging the neighbor guy whenever I could hear him playing his tunes (and got some great Steve Vai auditoins from a rather nice Yamaha system) the demo truck was a completely different animal. As you could imagine, if Bobs driving it, its probably sounding pretty good haha. That night was a definitive turning point in my quest for sound. Bob turned my ears on to something I'd never dreamed possible and left a lasting impression that still rings to this day. To Bob, cause I'm sure you bounce around here from time to time, thanks again for opening my ears and showing me what all this "stuff" can sound like if you take the time to do it right. Let me not forget Chuck in all of this as there were numerous times I went to the Pro Audio to "look" at something when Chuck knew darned good and well at 15 I couldnt afford 10k for gear but let me audition it none the less. Hats off to you Chuck, Ill never forget that shovelution...87 and a half if I remember my dates correctly.Well thats my story guys. I hope I wasn't to long winded. All the best , Dan
You mentioned Medford? You still there? I'm also in Oregon.
