STATUTORY WARNING - 10 Risks to know before entering this forum!
1. Thou might get more confused
Want to clear your confusion? Dont come here for here you will only get more confused. If previously the doubts confused you, now the answers will! (So many answers you will have.)

2. Thou might delay your decision for a loooooooooong time
If you come here for a quick fix solution for your queries like which is the best system for my .so and so.?) Forget it! Go no further and install your system for if you venture ahead, you will not decide on your setup for weeks together. You will read and read and read..and read ..the posts here till you have exhausted all there is to read and even then it is not guaranteed that you will decide!
(After reading the posts here for over three weeks now, I have decided just my Head unit!)

3. Thou might be led to severe addiction and Insomnia
You might get addicted to reading the posts here and this most of the times leads to staying up late in the nights for the purpose (pun intended).You might end up spending more time and effort on this forum than you ever imagined and its common for the users of this forum to stay up late nights and sleep at work the next day at least in the initial few days till you get used to it.

4. Thou wife/girlfriend/boss/all of them might fire you
What else do you think will happen if you start having late night extra-marital affairs with this forum? Btw what time is it now?
(Found no girl on the forum, at least in the In Car Entertainment section, so please excuse the absence of husband/Boyfriend.in the heading)

5. Thou might never be satisfied.
In spite of your carefully considered decision after reading and reading on setup, you shall still be left wondering if the choice you made was the best you could or could you have selected something better in the given budget. Was a particular JBL/Alpine amp/speaker worth the bucks or could the Sony have done the trick. Was it worth going with Bill & Warranty or would grey have been better or vice versa. And if you find a better system in another car you will not change yours but shout from the roof tops that your system rocks! Its the best and so on and so forth.Now look at those guys whove said this. Theyre gonna murder me. (Naah! The people here are too nice to do it Par yeh kya? oye! Yeh tamaatar kaun maar raha hai? Abbey yeh anda kisne pheka? - Just kidding guys!! Dont take my system is best thing seriously!)

6. Thou shall be robbed
This is a very greedy forum full of people out to loot you. If you come here with budgets of around 10,000/ the people here will make you spend around 20,000/- (I came looking for a system for around 10,000/- to 15,000/- and ended up spending 30,000/-) If you were happy with 2000 wala sony speaker before now you will become miserable with them. You might not be satisfied with anything less than a 6,000/- to a 60,000/- component system.

7. Thou might have to first buy a new dictionary
Did you ask what a component system is? Now didnt I tell you will have to buy a new dictionary! You will hear many more words previously unheard of like crossovers, biamping, XO etc etc.

8. Thou shall be converted
From an ignorant soul living in miserable audio environment to a learned one enjoying exhilarating musical environments. Your new religion will be Quality Sound.

9. Thou shall commit blasphemy
And for having converted you into this new religion of Quality Sound you may for a second deem our Audio Gurus Navin, Sam, Gunbir, Autophile etc who shall lead you from ignorance to bliss to be your Gods(of Music)!! ( Chalo! Kuch log to ande nahi maarenge)

And the worst of all you know what?

10. YOU WILL NOT FIND A SINGLE ANSWER
You came here looking for answers to all your queries and doubts, right? But SORRY!! Here, you will not find a single answer. COZ what you will get here is Advice (and plenty at that) for advice is what others can give answers come only from within. Right Said Sir, Navin?

Take care of these risks all ye souls and thou shall live here in bliss forever and ever...........

And if you have actually read all that is written above and are not mad at the post, then congratulations man! you have real Patience.......Just tell me you actually read and I shall share with you some of the tamaatars and andas that many people might thow at me!!!

There are certain things that are supposed to lead us towards that "inward" journey leading to peace. Music is one of them.
All of the above is TRUE. It would be surprising to find a soul who found more peace than anxiety and suffering when the passion externalizes. Then influence is bound to overtake and bring dillusion.
Any materialistic attachment is bound to bring pain and suffering!
This has been told since thousands of years but we humans are an ignorant race! Alas!

hehehehehehehehhe

 

[rohitmusic]

I guess no audiophile product would ever dare to claim on their marketing...

Root cause is our own want for something better

This post is living example of plagiarism. This is straightaway lifted from team-bhp post and pasted here. Here is link in team-bhp. I shall not support this creativity and mods should take action to delete this thread unless they prove that SoundManiac (from Hyderabad) in team-bhp forum & manolinaik (from Belgaum) are same person.

[Shivam]

Unlike the Indian film industry, manolinaik has actually started his post by saying that this is from the other forum and has mentioned the name of the person too who had posted it there.

Read the actual post before being holier-than-thou and using such strong language. The OP mentioned in the first line itself that this post if from team-bhp and he is posting it here since he loved the post there. And if you still think this is plagiarism then you should look up the definition of that.

Fantastic. So true of this forum as well.:clapping:

manolinaik has acknowledged the source in the first line of his post.

 

[anujmishra]

Just lifting from other forum is not good. He could have posted link of that post.

 

[Santy]

He has edited the post and added this later only after my post. But did he take his permission?

He has not edited anything. If he did, there will be a note below the post (unless if editing is done within 1 minute of posting)

Check your previous post.

Why to take permission. Has the guy Copyrighted his thoughts?

Chillax man. We needed some lighter moments here.

 

[RMCWS]

I cannot agree more. I think I am slowly being converted to "quality sound" music too. And yes, I came here looking for a HTiB and gone separate. Budget has increase 3-4 times. WTFFFF. But I am loving it guys....

 

[Naturelover]

Yeah, chill man! Let's keep this forum what it is. Lighthearted and friendly where people get serious only about music and movies

 

[Record Player]

An excellent read. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing...

 

[hildebrand]

Yes, Its an excellent read and I enjoyed it too!

 

[Dirac]

Ok. To add some of our own tenets.
1. Thou shall check your Blood pressure as thou may be contradicted and bluntly put down.
2. Thou shall fall prey to the reviews and empty your pockets on high end AV products.
3. Thou shall be called fanboy of a particular brand.
4. Thy shall find mad people as mad about AV excellance as thyself.

All of you guys..add your own tenets...

saw this just now, i've had a rather disappointing experience with team-bhp, maybe I was at fault but could not figure out why.

one when on the highway, my car's headlamps failed in the middle of the night. we somehow bypassed the circuitry and reached home on 1 headlamp. when i casually posted the query on how to fix the relays, on team-bhp, then blocked my question saying this issue was discussed several times before on the forum. of course, i went to another website, got my answers and fixed the headlamp relay system, but felt the moderators out there were pretty aggressive. after all, they are like an exclusive community and i, being a newbie auto DIYer, did not quite feel welcome there. anyways, hfv is there for all of us, after all.
