Welcome to Car Audio Mastery. Most people think car audio is about "plug and play." We’re here because we know better. This is where we bridge the gap between DIY enthusiasts and Pro-level builders using the same Industrial Design principles I use in the studio. Right now, this group is in "Live Lab" mode. I’m documenting my own personal vehicle builds in real-time. You aren’t just here to watch videos; you’re here to see the sketches, the CAD prototypes, and the engineering logic that goes into a high-end build before it ever hits the garage. 🚦 The Ground Rules 1. No Sales, No Spam, Just Skill 🚫 This is a sanctuary for learning, not a marketplace. There is zero-tolerance for unsolicited sales, affiliate links, or pitching your own products/services. We are here to master the craft, not to be sold to. If you have a tool or product you genuinely love, share the logic of why it works, not a sales pitch. 2. Respect the Build (Zero Harassment) 🤝 We were all beginners once. Whether someone is asking about a basic fuse or a complex DSP tune, treat every member with respect. "Elitism" has no place in this garage. Constructive criticism is encouraged; disrespect and "gatekeeping" are grounds for immediate removal. 3. Participation > Collection 🧠 This is a Live Lab, not a library. We don't want "file collectors" or lurkers who only show up to download blueprints and leave. To keep the community healthy, you are expected to engage—ask questions, share your progress, and help others. If you’re here to take without giving, this isn't the crew for you. 4. Pay it Forward 🔧 The goal is to go from DIY to Pro. If you find a solution to a problem or learn a new design trick, share it with the group. A community of people helping each other rises faster than an individual working alone. If you see a question you can answer, answer it. 5. The Designer’s Standard 📐 As a community led by an Industrial Designer, we value accuracy and quality. Avoid "hack-job" advice that compromises safety or vehicle integrity. When sharing information, aim for the "Pro" standard—even if you’re working on a DIY budget.

First off, welcome to Car Audio Mastery. If you’re looking for a polished, multi-million dollar studio with unlimited budgets and a crew of twenty... you’re in the wrong place. But if you’re looking to see how an Industrial Designer applies professional engineering and design logic to real-world builds in a real-world garage—then you’ve found your home. 🧪 The "Live Lab" Concept I’m building this community exactly how I build a new product: Iteratively. Right now, this group is a Live Lab. Instead of dropping 50 pre-recorded videos and disappearing, I am documenting my personal vehicle builds in real-time. You are going to see: - The Design Logic: Why I choose specific components based on engineering, not just "hype." - The Prototypes: 3D prints, CAD files, and custom fabrication that fails before it succeeds. - The Reality: How to get "Pro" results on a "DIY" budget. 💎 Why being a "Founding Member" matters Because we are in the early stages, you have a seat at the drafting table. You get to help decide which modules I film next, which technical drawings I release, and which problems we solve together. As the classroom grows, so will the price and the crowd. But for you? You’re in on the ground floor. 🚀 Your First Mission I’m currently ripping the interior out of my project car to map out the new stage of the audio system. Before I post the next update, I want to see what you are working with. Drop a comment below with: 1. The Vehicle: Year/Make/Model. 2. The Goal: A daily driver upgrade, or a "Pro" level career move? 3. The Current Mess: A photo of your project (the messier, the better). Let’s stop settling for factory sound and start designing something better.

I’m starting this community for a specific reason. After years in Industrial Design, I realized that the aftermarket world is where true craftsmanship lives. I’m building this group to be my "escape plan" from the 9-to-5, and I want to help you do the same. Whether you want to fix your own ride or start your own shop, we are going from DIY to Pro together. This is the "Founding Member" stage—you aren't just joining a group; you’re building the foundation of this crew. Post a photo of your current project (no matter how messy it is) in the comments. Let’s see what we’re working with.
