Hi everyone, my name is Bobby (Robert Powell), but most folks know me from Radioactive in Largo as the guy who turns your car into a rolling concert hall. I’ve been installing car audio systems for years, making sure your neighbors can hear your bass from three blocks away!

Recently, I hit a pretty big speed bump: I had a heart attack and needed a triple bypass surgery. I guess you could say my heart needed a full system upgrade before I start working on anyone else’s.

I’m already starting to feel better and can’t wait to get back to work at Radioactive, but the doctors tell me I have to take it easy for a few weeks. No driving, no heavy lifting, and definitely no climbing into tiny trunks to wire up subwoofers for now.

While I recover, I’ll be out of work, and the medical bills don’t exactly install themselves (or come with a discount code). On top of that, I still have my normal living expenses to cover.

A lot of customers and friends have reached out asking how they can help, so I decided to set up this GoFundMe. If you’ve ever thought about tipping me for that clean install or perfect tune-up, now’s the time! Consider it an early tip for the future jobs I’ll be doing once I’m back. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to remember it when I’m squeezing an amp into a tight spot for you down the road.

Every little bit helps me keep my bills paid and my spirits up so I can focus on healing and come back stronger (and louder) than ever.

Thank you so much for all the love and support. I can’t wait to get back to making your cars sound amazing. See you (and hear you) soon!
