Any tips on opening my own business?

Q) I'm thinking about opening up a car audio and truck accessories business. I've been doing some research but it's very overwhelming. I would like for your tips and opinions. My husband is really good and loves to install car audio and such. I'm good at financial part. We already have the shop and there are only two audio places in town that are extremely high priced. We priced what we can get our inventory for and it's atleast 100 dollars less than what they are selling it for. I'm just open for all tips and opinions.

A) My first biz was a stereo installation shop. Lasted not even a year cause I did it wrong. I then opened a detail shop, it closed in under a year. A year later I reopened the detail shop and it lasted 3 yrs then failed. I then went to work for those in the detail industry and got jobs as head detailer at Lexus and Infiniti. While there I hung out at the body shops to get a eye for paint. After like 9 yrs of detailing for myself and for others, I got a job as a touch up paint guy. I worked for them for a year and then went out on my own. 10 yrs later this May and I am still here, going strong, and have one of the best reps around. Know your field inside and out, live it, breath it, work all levels inside it to know all angels, suppliers, prices, methods, competition, etc. I would then actually get a map of your town, paper or use like Google Earth, and put push pins all over the map of where every competitor is, no matter how big or small. Then color in or mark off the regions you are going after for clients. Being stereos and all I would assume middle to upper class that has money to spend on their cars. To save expense, I would skip the shop. Shops seems sweet and all but they are such a pain. Rent, electric, gas, water, dumpster bill, employees, taxes, cleaning the place, security system, stock, just a big pain and it takes up so much of your time and money. All of my work is mobile, I have the back of a Blazer set up as a rolling mini body shop. Tool box with 300 paints, air compressor, you name it. I can paint up to an entire side of a car from the back of my truck, outside, mobile, on the spot. Great angle for customers....never lose their car, I do the work while they are home or at work. For you I would say do the same thing. Get a SUV of some sort and get a basic tool box and bolt it down. Put all your wires, tools, harnesses, wire nuts, etc all organzied in the box. Set up anything else you need, extension cords, tube lights, battery jumper box, etc. Name yourself something like Mobile Sound on Wheels or something. Get some biz cards, open up a bank account in the biz name. Then go around to dealerships, detail shops, muffler shops, parking lots with high line cars, ricers and leave cards everywhere. Waste like $100 just dumping biz cards all over, even get the little plastic holders at Office Max to hold them in for counter displays. Color print out all images, catalogs, etc of all items you know you can get, have access too, know how to work, install, etc, every last thing and put it all into a binder. That is now your work bible. As customers call you, you meet up with them, check out their car, what they have, and then you flip through your bible and pick out what you believe will be the best system or items for them. have a price sheet in the back of the book with THEIR PRICE showing, NEVER yours. Leave that price at home. This will be more of a personal service, more home touch, and I can tell you from dealing with guys with BMW, Porsches, etc all day long. They love guys who know their stuff who come out mobile and do work at their homes so they can watch and learn a few tricks. They just eat it up all day long. You can even use the SUV as your normal car as well as the stuff is just in back. Plus I can tell you from experience, when you are self employed, you are never off the clock, you are always working, shopping, marketing, spreading the word, something, you do live it, but its a fun life if you love what you do. Glad to see another come into the car industry. Be different, be yourself, be personal. Don't follow the crowd, odd man out is who gets noticed and gets the work.

What parts do I need for my XM Ready car to start receiving XM?

Q) The car is a XM Ready 2006 Honda Civic 4 door sedan EX with satellite navigation. The stereo is the original from the dealership. From the Honda website "XM Ready audio system is pre-wired to accept the dealer installed accessory XM Satellite Radio hardware." I need to know what that hardware consists of.

A) Did you purchase the XM option from the dealer when you bought the car? If not, you could always go back and have them do it. That would look the best, the cleanest with the least amount of wires around, or you could take it to Best Buy and have them install it for you. Either way after that the only equipment you need is a credit card. Good Luck! There are four parts to the honda xm accessory kit - here are the part numbers, I just found this for you on e-bay. XM SATELLITE RADIO PN # 08A15-EX5-000 XM RADIO ANTENNA PN # 08A15-EX5-100B XM RADIO ATTACHMENT PN # 08B15-SNA-100 XM AUDIO SUB-HARNESS (2-PORT) PN # 08A31-0F1-000

'95 Dodge Neon, 3 MTX Thunder 6000, Amp? Accessories?

Q) Hi, I have a '95 Dodge Neon and recently purchased 3 10" MTX thunder 6000's. I was looking for an amp that could handle my subs as well as my car handling the amps power. Also, on top of that since I am new to the car audio scene...I was wondering what all of the accessories are needed to have this setup running. The speakers in my car are stock, the cd player is a Kenwood 50x4. Please recommend something cheap but still bang for my buck. =] thanks!

A) First, that is a lot of power for a dodge neon. You may want to consider getting a newer car battery, possibly consider going one range higher than stock. You will have a lot of strain on your alternator. Since your neon is 12 years old, you may need to purchase an new alternator at some point. Do a "big 3 upgrade" on your wires. (see source) Do not use amplifier capacitors, they are just "band-aids" to the problem of dimming headlights and such. Visonik makes good amplifiers. You should use Sosche wiring accessories. Consider replacing your stock speakers in the car as well. Infinity Kappas are nice. As for "bang for the buck"... You get what you pay for. There are no real shortcuts. Jpark,, even a brand new 0 miles Chrysler 300 can benefit from a Big 3 upgrade. A 12 year old economy car would benefit drastically.

What is the best amp choice to run 3 MTX subs in a 95 Dodge Neon?

Q) Not sure if I phrased my first question well enough... Hi, I have a '95 Dodge Neon and recently purchased 3 10" MTX thunder 6000's.

A) well since you have thunder series subs u should go with the MTX thunder series amp. go to ebay and search MTX brand under amplifiers...to push those your gonna need a 1500watt amp since those subs are 500rms each.. this amp right here should do the trick and its pushing 1500watts at 1ohm which is awesome for you cuz you will have it hooked up to where its 1/2ohm which will have it hittin hard.http://cgi.ebay.com/MTX-THUNDER-TA81001-BONOBLOCK-CLASS-D-SUPER-AMPLIFIER_W0QQitemZ250061186662QQihZ015QQcategoryZ64573QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
