He recommended some bands and said he'd like to listen to my car, said his factory caddy system sounded "pretty good" and mentioned his 15k home stereo. I thought the home setup price mention was a lil braggy, but I know what he makes, so its feasible........ so tonight I gave him an hour plus demo. Knowing he was a metal head, we started with my music......some symphony x ( if'n ya like prog metal, do yourself a favor and pickup "the oddysey" ) he was diggin the volume, asked and was impressed that my subs were "only 8s". He was jammin', but I could tell he wasn't "listening". I turned it down, and knowing he had the home setup, mentioned the staging........I received a blank stare, so trying not to sound too anal, I gave him a sounstage run down......he said he'd never noticed any of that in music before.......then I brought the volume back up........I looked, and now this cat was "listening". This time he turned it down, and asked how do you make it do that? He then questioned about "are there more speakers up there" ( on the dash ). I said "no", and he started looking for himself.......he had many questions, which I answered the best I could. We then switched to his metal......... not too bad, I hadn't heard the band he played. I then explained I was going to change gears a lil, so not to shock him too bad, and put in one of Jason's ( afghanvet) demo discs. When the first track came on ( called yalunga, can't remember the artists name) he was listening close, maybe even closed his eyes. A shaker comes in far left......my man jumped, and looked out his window.......... he turned to me, jaw in his lap, and I knew I had him. Well we spent the next 45min. or so listening to sq music, pausing between tracks, him telling me what he was hearing, and how he had never noticed things like that. Needless to say, I believe someone rode home thinking a lil less of his factory caddy system, and eager to "listen" to his home stereo again, hopefully with a new perspective! Fun times people, I'm tellin ya.

. "I need a cigarette" is common too. I don't know which is cooler, people that don't know anything or the ones that think a car can't do it. Either way, good times.
