Lyman Gauld: A friend of mine worked in car audio. No college courses or anything like that needed for him. He just went and applied as an installer. Your bf can go and apply at places like Best Buy or any other audio business that deals with car audio.
Monty Sieloff: Theres alot of schools he can go to . I dont know where you are so i wouldnt have a clue where the nearest school is to you, but a good way to get started if hes semi good is to work at a place like best buy ect. thats has a place where they acually install audio. if hes trying to start his own buisness he should look into trying things out himself like enclosures of fiber glass( read up on it ) and put his name on it the thing you really need to do is practice and work on it . ive been doin it for years now and i got a lil name out for myself( the army doesnt give me enouph time ) He should major in car electronics ( you really need a trade school for this type of thing. im sorry i rambled on i ki! nda lost train of thi=ought but hes still young and all just get a job at best buy and show people your work if they like it they will come( what movie was that/?) anywho i hope thid helped a lil...Show more
Arlen Decorte: A few electrical engineering courses will help. Many af the car audio magazines have ads for schools and online programs for car audio that would get him a basic understanding of the foundation principals of 12volt and what is becoming a 14volt world.There are also some nice DVDs that deal with individual tasks in the car audio process like working with fiberglass, building enclosures, etc. You can usually find adds for these in the same car audio magazines.I'd suggest not working with Best Buy or the like. They primarily install pre-made stuff. If he wants to become a good installer and a fabricator he should look to a local car audio dealer who installs and fabricates systems. Here he'd learn about all phases of car audio design, development, plan! ning, fabrication and finally installation and tuning. There i! s no fast track to follow as he'd basically need to put in 3-5 years of work to get good. It's sort of like being an apprentice electrician or carpenter. You need time to learn and encounter all of the normal and crazy issues you might deal with 10 or 15 years down the road.Hope this helps....Show more
Rolanda Merritt: I would highly recommend some basic electrcity and electronics courses. There's nothing worse than an ICE installer who doesn't understand Ohm's Law.He can also train for an MECP certification specifically for car A/V.
