Today I shadowed Kenny Albertini at SounDelux, the top Car Audio installation and fabrication shop in the 619 area. I really enjoyed shadowing him because he owns the business and I have had a self taught and pursued passion for audio. I learned a lot of tricks of the trade and met a ton of people. We made a plan for me to work for him in the summer. I've known him for a very long time and an official job shadow was overdue. The pictures are of a hard top convertible Jeep with a custom roll cage and 4 point harness seats for the perfect desert car. To get one 12 inch subwoofer (middle) and two full range speakers (left and right) we had to create custom enclosures and on top of that a place to mount them. Because the fiberglass needed one day to cure, my boss built the main parts of the speaker enclosures with half inch thick wood and the rest of the cone shape with fiberglass. This gave the speakers a solid backing and extremely loud sound capabilities, I was able to experiment with wiring amps and properly connecting wires. I enjoyed working on cars all day and I plan on doing it this summer. I would much rather be working than in school. I learned a lot about how to diagnose what a client wants and how they see their stereo system turning out and I feel this will benefit my communication skills greatly, and that's something I will use for the rest of my life.
