Tom Mangs once again has been named "Top 100 Installers in the United States" by Mobile Electronics Magazine for 2011-2012. He already won this award back in 2007-08 and that plaque sits next to the many others he has received throughout the years. Tom has been with us for 30 years now (yes THIRTY) and during his time has built some amazing audio systems. He specializes in one off custom installations that includes fiberglass, plexi, motorization, and LED lighting, but has also built plenty of competition cars in his day as well.

So I was playing around on the internet today and came accross an article stating that in the next 10 years, aftermarket car radio could possibly be "dead". The part of the article that talks about this is copied below for you to read.

I understand where they are coming from...I just don't know if I see this actually happening. How about you? Do you believe that aftermarket car radio's will come to an end in 10 years? Read the article below and give us your feedback on our Facebook or Twitter page. We're interested to know what you think about this!

A day at the Palm Beach International Raceway drag strip. Our Serious Autosport Nissan Skyline GTR R900 dropped jaws with its amazing speed and power! Come by our retail store and ask Evan for a ride! You'll be amazed.

2009 BMW M6 w/20" Vossen CV2 Wheels (Gunmetal), Eibach Lowering Springs, Tinted Tail Lights & Gunmetal Painted Trim

It's a question many of us think about- we might dream about it- and we always try to get as close to it as our abilities (and budget) will allow.

What's the best I can get?

Well, it's time we spent a few paragraphs going over what some of the industry standards are and what we can offer at Ask The Advisors and Serious Autosport when it comes to car audio. To begin, let’s define what “the best” actually is…
