Ken Nail has written about car audio for Crutchfield since 2003, after four years as Crutchfield Sales Advisor, and 10 years as a music teacher. He's an avid music listener, whose favorites are classical and film music. When not chained to a desk, Ken spends most of his time training for triathlons and marathons, and likes getting outside for backpacking, downhill skiing, and bicycle touring. He attended West Virginia University, where he received a Master's Degree in Music Performance and a Bachelor's Degree in History.

Todd Cabell is the Car Multichannel Projects Editor at Crutchfield, where he has written about car electronics since 2001. He enjoys swimming, fly fishing, hiking, skiing, cooking, and playing guitar when he's not spilling red ink. He drives a 2000 Ford F-150 with an Alpine CDA-7894 in the dash, Polk/MOMO 5-1/4" components up front, Polk 6”x8” speakers in the rear, a Rockford Fosgate Punch P8004 amplifier, and an MTX Thunderform under the rear seat. He hopes to one day outfit his 1962 Mercury Comet with a worthy sound system as well. He received a B.A. in English from Davidson College, an M.A. in English from the University of Virginia, and a Cambridge/RSA CELTA Certification for ESL Teaching from Cambridge University.
