Trust me… Leave it to the experts

I’ve seen this countless times. A customer walks into our showroom and tells of how the car audio system they recently purchased and had installed either sounds horrific or doesn’t work properly- or worst yet- is causing their car to misbehave.

There is one common denominator here-
These systems were most likely purchased and installed either by the client or installed by a novice installer at a poor shop.
Let’s face it; cars are not simple like they were when I was a kid. These days, you have full-blown computer systems controlling almost every vehicle function, and one …

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but my electronics are delightful!

If you live in south Florida then you know exactly what I’m talking about. The hot, humid summer months are the most dangerous weather months of the year.  Historically heavy rains, high winds and of course the ever present threat of a hurricane rolling on to our shores are frightful prospects indeed, and this summer is expected to be a particularly active weather season.  Since the brutal summers of ’04-’05 we’ve all become veterans of rough summer weather and we’re pretty darn efficient at protecting our homes the best we can with shutters and plywood …

Also, with new technologies like 3D HDTV, more and more new and larger screen sets are being sold everyday.
The good news is that technological advances are allowing manufacturers to produce TVs that are far more eco-friendly. The bad news is that finding the truly eco-friendly TVs …
