HAT Syndrome-an incurable disease contracted through mindless installation of aftermarket car audio systems in pursuit of sound quality.

This highly contagious disease is easily transmitted through unprotected online misinformation exchange as facilitated by online sound quality forums and local audio shops which serve as mass outbreak breeding grounds.

Early stage of disease: recognition of inferior car audio sound quality leads to gradual loss of immunity against marketing bullshit and self promoting myths, this stage is also known as loss of common sense.

Intermediate stage: the fast advancing loss of common sense leads to discarding all independent brain functions and substituting them with online reassurances and photos of past installs. The disease advances into spending stage which can take place after common sense completely disappears.

Advanced stage: installation takes place either through self inflicted or pro administered application of highly priced equipment. The diseases permanently takes over host organism and continues to self sustain through exposure to concentrated nourishment present at sound quality competition events operated by fully infected organism.

The outcome: non existing brain activity as related to audio aspects of life, uncontrollable urge to spend money on equipment contaminated with more of the same disease, permanent inability to employ ears and common sense.

The susceptible portion of population can be easily identified by their gullibility, limited ability to exercise their own judgment or common sense, inability to make independent decisions.
