Im really not arrogant at all. I know alot of people who run systems like the shitty one I mentioned, and I go along with how cool it is and how good it sounds because, well... We've all been there.
If you re getting that vibe from me, its probably because every time I get mentioned here, someone has some lies to say about me. I dont care about people talking shit if its true, but if it isnt true, thats when it bugs me. Like the people who say I didnt pay for my stereo. I worked my *** off for a year to afford this, and when people say my parents paid for it, that is just flat out disrespectful. If they did, I would deserve or anyon and everyone to call me on it, but thats not the case. I worked for about 14-16 months at 6.79/hr, plus selling all of my old stereo equipment to afford what I had. At one point my dad loaned me about $500, but I paid him back with my next paycheck.
That system would have been just fine with 90% of the people here. People who dont want it at rediculous volumes the whole time. When I reconed to dual 1 ohm, everything was fine. My problem is I know 2 volumes... Loud and Louder. When Im hearing bass at that volume, I just cant seem to turn it down, its like an addiction. With that power it just didnt have the playability that I wanted.
My next system will be started pretty soon, and it will only have about 400rms a sub. Ill have my loud bass and Ill be able to listen to it, also. For this system, I sold my 4 BTL, and worked about 60 hours a week for 4 months at an average of $10 an hour. So once again, for this system, every penny of it is coming from money I earn.
Whether anyone believes me or not, Its not really an issue. I already have my friends. Some are people who are just starting up with systems, and others hold more Wolrd Championships. In reality, I think everyone is just mad that everyone saw the videos of my sytem. Its not like Im seeing a dime from it, or that I really care. In all honestly, my system wasnt shit compared to the systems of most people I know.
Most people here seem pretty cool, but theres a few people that have grudges on me for various reasons, and everyone just thinks its cool to flame people for whatever reason they hear. I know its CA.com and thats what makes it funny. I have had so many nights reading threads by Cotjones and whatnot, and just laughing to the point where Im in tears. Everyone gets flamed every once in a while, and I seem to be that guy alot of the time. Really no big deal though. I just wish that people could actually get to know someone before forming a judgement on them. I think alot of people around here would have alot more friends.
