Just out of curiosity, I understand if its not something you want to say, but how much did you spend total? It is a very good budget buy IMO and I am curious how much the "bare essentials" cost.
Well, The Hu is something I had in the car for some time now. I got it for $199.00 back when circuit city was going bust.
A general breakdown of cost:
MBQ 4125 : $ 164.99 shipped from
Ebay
ID ctx comps : $ 212.00 out the door from a local car audio shop. Could have bought them for 189.00 shipped but supported the little guy this time.
RE sub : $ 150.00 shipped from
Ebay. They wanted $169.00, but I did the "or best offer" option and they let me have it- I was shocked.
Rattle trap : $ 129.00 shipped from
Ebay Mad cheap for 100'^3 of 80 mil deadener. I will however invest in second skin next time. enough said.
0ga wire : $ 108.00 shipped from
Ebay its no name 100% ofc no tined copper wire w/ ~5100 strands
the rest of the odd crap is about 150 bucks worth of bat terminals, ring terminals, pretty stinger 0 to 4 ga reducers, 50' of knu kl3 14 ga wire, 5' of knu kl3 12 ga wire, wire boots, mdf rings for the doors, xtc baffles, stinger helix rcs's Im sure im missing something, but thats about all of it. Oh ya, the **** box was about 70 bucks to make too- 4x8 mdf $38.00 at lowes, 8 bucks for the glue, 5 bucks for the mounting screws, 5 bucks for the speaker terminals, and 24 bucks shipped for the areoport. and 4 cans of krylon primer, and 6 cans of krylon satin black at like 3 bucks or so a can at wally. All the little shit really adds up!
