The same could be said about ALL the cool stuff in car audio!
It is, sure. But when I was describing my plans for an install where I could swap out my sub box, both for playing with other subs and for leaving it out to use my hatch for annual camping trip and road trips and other stuff...
Someone linked a super expensive product at me, someone already makes a quick magnetic release - it exists today, made for car audio, and not perfect. Four magnets, two flat panels that could easily attract anything metal (including a car... usually those are metal, right?) and started giving me nightmares about "what if you took the sub box out, the magnets attracted metal - and you powered your car (and system) on and dead short your amp"?
I saw a really expensive, potentially risky connector that didn't need to be that expensive (I think) or that risky. I wouldn't want to drive around with the sub box out and that rolling around the trunk. So my stupid brain starts thinking of a redesign.
But you also busted me - my first college major was mechanical drafting ,and my current career is IT project implementations, and obviously I'm a lifelong car audio engineering geek...
...so how do you expect me to resist an excuse to finally learn 3D CAD software when you dangle a car audio related carrot on a stick in front of me?
Come on. Not possible.
