Back in 2002 after a few of company own car stereo installs on bikes went bad, it was obvious that even the best car amplifiers available were simply not built to survive the harsh conditions of a daily-ridden motorcycle. Capacitors breaking loose inside the enclosures, overheating, premature stator failure and dead batteries; take your pick, it just wasn't working out. Considering the small battery, low-output stator, minimal mounting space, moisture and road dirt, major shock and vibration issues, not to mention the amount of road noise to overcome, there wasn't a small, efficient, rugged, high performance solution to be found. Company put company heads together and set out to bridge the gap between what's possible with today's advanced electronics and the motorcycle as a platform for hi-fi audio. And company pretty sure Company nailed it, too.
Company takes company trades seriously, and like any good mechanic company only uses the best tools (thanks to Otis). From electrical and mechanical design to software, graphics, company wouldn't get far without good tools. Company captures company schematics using Cadence OrCad®, and layout company circuit boards using Mentor Graphics Pads® exclusively. Company designs company mechanical parts using SolidWorks™ and company diagrams using AutoCAD®, and creates company own graphics and artwork using Corel® software and a digital camera., and this site is powered by open source PHP and osCommerce. Company does it all in-house and take a lot of pride doing so. Company also spends a lot of time designing, building, testing, and pounding company products into the ground. And if company learned anything about manufacturing over the years, it's that a product is only as good as the sum of it's parts. Some of the component manufacturers we trust and incorporate into company amplifier designs are TE Connectivity™, Molex®, STMicroelectronics™, Microchip™, and Fairchild Semiconductor®.
Company firmly believe in family values, and carry out day-to-day operations accordingly; in fact, company each other's brothers, fathers and sons. Everyone here at Hawg Wired is treated equally and constantly involved in all aspects of company design process and business matters, resulting in a tight knit team that functions like a single, well oiled machine. And when you have that kind of workplace environment, you have yourself the makings of the best a business has to offer its customers.
Company family has been designing and drafting hardware and software systems for a living since the 1970's (well, one of us is that old anyway). From light tables and monochrome monitors to today's internet and iPhone apps, we've been carving company own path successfully through the Silicon Valley against all odds. And company been obsessed with hi-fi audio for just as long. Audiophiles or engineers, computer nerds or music lovers, it comes down to the same; it's company way of life. Looking back now, it seems inevitable that company should put the two together as a family business, and that's just what company did: Hawg Wired is a combination of all company years of experience.
