Not only that, but why would you want to produce a product, which is already being produced effectively by Hoppin' Hydros?

Re: the resin audio biz

Never say never, but there is a lot on the market already.
If you can offer something different, better and for a fair price than you will find a market.
If you are planning to offer so-so copys of exsisting pieces, than why bother.

Re: the resin audio biz

The Hoppin Hydro's stuff is ok, but it's nothing I'd get excited over personally. The stuff I'd be looking for would be PE head unit faces (already available) and PE sub backs (the complex metal cone that holds it together) which was also available for a while but no longer. Also, prototypical, well detailed amps. If this is the sort of thing you can provide, they great! Otherwise, the market isn't quite saturated, but it's not exactly a new niche.

I don't know, I don't feel the need to adorn my models with little speakers and amps so I don't buy that stuff.
I was just pointing out the fact there is already stuff being produced, if you would rather us not point out the truth, let us know.

Re: the resin audio biz

I don't know. Might be too hard to get into this niche...what I've ordered from partsbox is amazing and cheap price. Hoppin hydro's stuff already out there, these guys make great stuff and people already know them well. Those 2 places are more than enough for me to get all the stuff i used for the set-ups in my sig

thepartsbox.com

Nothing wrong with a good debate!

All Subaru's have a thumpin system, it's called a flat four!
