Who would like to see a dedicated C4 Audio section?

 

Isn't there already one in the audio section?

 

no. there is no need.

There is a dedicated audio section as it is, and no one comes over there... it's amazing how many still post audio questions here...

Audio/Electronics

C4 Audio FAQ. The annoying part? I have in big print, "This is not for questions..." and people still ask questions.

 

 

I think it's a good idea. I don't think I've ever had a post go unanswered in the C4 section. I've had a few over there with no response.

 

I think a lot of people ask Audio questions in the C4 General because they don't know or can't find the Audio/Electronics section.

It would be a lot easier too just click on the links to the left under Community.

 

119 views and 5 votes? The general forum is hard to find and seems to be all C5 & C6.

Vote please!

 

I voted yes because I found that there is very little response to posts in the audio section to C4 inquiries. But, the more I think about it, recognizing that most of the C4 regulars hang out largely in the C4 sections, why not just post C4 audio questions here (like we do with every other question)?

 

onx c4, that makes too much sense, itll never happen. too bad theres not a vanity section{wheels, stripes, wings, body kits, etc.} that have nothing to do with perfomance or fixes.

 

The traffic for C4s over at the audio section IS slow... it really isn't all that fast for C5's and C6's, either.

The bottom line is thus: The C5 and C6 are easier to upgrade. There are more bose related interface options, the interior is easier to deal with and the doors actually hold speakers... lotsa speakers.

When it comes to C4 audio, the majority of the info is either in the FAQ or available from a quick search.

Finally, audio is audio. There really isn't anything all that different about putting a good system into a C4 or into a Civic. The head units all fit, the amps all fit... the options get harder when you consider subs, top fitment and dealing with the bose. However, all of that has been well documented. Theory is theory... SQ is SQ... and doing it right is doing it right.

It comes down to being patient. I try to answer as many audio related questions as I can, but I am one of a very select group in the C4 area that actually understands audio and it's requirements in the car. Kale (a former C4 owner), -=Jeff=-, deaggie, Teddydog and a couple others that escape me at the moment.

Outside of the C4 gang, there is an entire group of guys who are EXPERTS in this arena. ScottFX, duramax dave, pentavolvo, fej and englandgreen. The bottom line is that audio is NOT all that car specific. What you need to know truely exists - bose options and such - the key is knowing what is new and available.

This is why a C4 specific audio section is a bad idea. All it will do is dilute the Audio section as we know it, and won't do much more than ask the same insipid questions over and over again...

 

I am not going to vote on the topic .. but a dedicated c4 audio section will go laregly unnoticed by everyone BUT the people that frequent the general c4 sections now. You will lose out on a large amount of audio knowledge and advice that you would get posting in the audio/electronics section that you will not get in a "c4 audio" section because, well, those people do not drive c4's.

Come to the audio/electronics section. Post questions. We will help as best we can.

I am a C5 owner and had a C4 many years ago. I have also been a professionall car audio installer for the past 16 years. I have worked on every body style of Corvette and nearly every year. I am not the only person on this forum with alot of experience. I hit up the audio section and a few of the C5 sections. I know I would not visit a C4 audio section. You guys would be missing out on the possible information I could provide and many others who are in that section. If I were you I would leave the forum as it is and just use it's resources.

 

thanks guys! Appreciate the support!!!!

 

 

I see both sides. I voted yes. Maybe they could have a general audio section like it is now, but add a install specific section in each year group.

 

That has been solved (sorta) by a request - place a [Cx] or some reference to generation in the thread title.

We have also requested our own moderator, one dedicated to keeping the audio section neat and tidy. This mod could then keep the titles in sync and such.

It is important that things are cleaned up in there... but adding a generation specific section to the Audio section is no different than adding an Audio section here.

fej and EatRice are echoing what I said: It will dilute the useful interchange of audio related ideas.

If I could continue to vote "no," I would. It's just a very bad idea.

 

it doesn't matter to me. All I need to know is 1 thing: "Dr. Don's", Maybe one of these years i'll get around to sending in my stereo.
