Question

Do U have to be a certified electrician? audio installer? have a profession in audio to answer ques. on YA?

Answer 1

No; but since most people are going to answer questions in the topics they're interested in, it's no surprise that you find lots of professionals answering questions.

If I'm asking a question, I'd probably give a little more weight to answers that come from people who work in the field.  If I'm answering, I'll usually list my certification if it's relevant.  Then if my answers are different from others, people can see that I have a little experience to back it up.

On the other hand, I've seen "certified professionals" give spectacularly wrong answers on occasion.

Answer 2

It needs to be that way....

Answer 3

Nope, any idiot can answer. Up to the person who asked the question to sort though it all and figure out who has the right answer or Yahoo will leave it up to people to vote on it.

Answer 4

No, any dodo can answer, but you should at least know what your talking about before you post an answer to ANY question.

Answer 5

Anyone can answer, and everyone does. so it is important to not take what is said on here as a final answer. As Kaezoo has said, people, even so called qualified people are on here giving poor advice. Even some of the top ten have given some really poor advice, in my opinion.

KaeZoo, MDC, Sparky,Metalman56 and a few others on the top ten are a great source for information in the category. If you are thinking of answering questions, i just asked this, don;t rely on information from friends or sales men that you have talked with in the past, be sure your information comes from reliable sources, and is correct, it simply makes Yahoo Answers a better place to visit. If you dint know the answer and find the question interesting, mark it and return to see what others say, i have learned tons from the likes of Kaezoo, and sparky doing this very thing.

so welcome my frined and enjoy our own little car audio geek squad.  

Answer 6

You will always get the 'tard who thinks he is a pro, just because he put some Sony XPlod 6x9's in his parcel tray all by himself. He is the guy who thinks that distortion is really just another word for bass. . .

You just have to filter through the replies. You should be able to tell the difference between those who know what they are talking about and those who hope to know more than the person they are arguing with. . .
