Welcome to Car Audio School on Skool! 🎓
I'm Kristoff (iAm Sleepy Digital), and I've been installing audio/video, telecommunications, and mobile electronics for 20 years. I wrote the book "Super Tech: What Your Shop Manager Should Have Told You" and created Kristoff's Law - Reserve-Based Design (RBD)™ - the methodology that's changed how we approach electrical systems.
This academy exists for ONE reason:
To take you from a complete beginner to a master technician with a proven, step-by-step system.
