Car Audio: A fair weather friend

i call it the 'ever elusive search' for the perfect sound, or at least that's what i tell the wife as she rolls her eyes and shakes her head. i've probably been through about 10 different systems, and thinking about a change up now. thinking about upgrading from 10's to twelves.

 
ive got about 10 years put into it.....i've blow aboutt a grand a year....

but finally in the last year i've gotten to a point to which i can actually say i'm happy and dont need anythign else major. if i could change anything it would be minor stuff, some of which is just out of my control being vehicle related issues.

god **** i love my art amps. trf still has some fixing to do and it'll hopefully be back in soon.

 
Nor have I had to sell for financial reasons but I jump around from computers to fishing to guns to motorcycles so I'll sell off a system to chase something else until I land back in car audio.

 
Only reason I've sold anything is to help pay for new stuff.

I spend way too much a year on this **** as well with building boxes, recones, and travelling for shows. Easily a couple grand a year on top of upgrading equipment.

 
Im actually thinking of selling my current system. Not because I need the money at the moment. I dont drive my truck enough to worry about it and I would like to see a little money in my savings account. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But I also have plans for a system in the near future already. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I think Im addicted...

 
the sh1tty thing is the amount of time, money, more time, more money and depreciation of gear. I have probably flushed about 5 grand in losses over 13 years
That's why I don't buy new. I'm on the opposite spectrum from you. I have probably been through just as many if not more systems, but I have netted about $5k in profit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
I watch my stepfather spending all kinds of money on hunting and tells me I waste time in Car audio. I like hunting, it's just not my hobby, I tell him. So I ask him to give up hunting and he says no, I tell him it's the same as hunting is to you.
^this. I don't spend money on TVs or anything else really. And usually when I sell off my equipment, I found someone locally that really likes it and gives me what I paid for it in the first place, lol

Not sure that's going to happen with the new build though....
