[QUOTE="seedlings, post: 8399478, member: 666435"] Last system I built was in 1991 with one 50WPC Zapco amp into a hand built passive crossover into some 5.25" JBL separates and one 10" running stereo/mono. I don't think All Gore had even considered inventing the internet. I had piles of car audio mags. So I have some catching up to do, although it's interesting which brands are still around. I didn't see a budget forum heading... I do most all hobby stuff on the cheap, like building my own guitar effects and tube amps. I'm not brand loyal or even trendy. If I need 500w RMS, and a $100 amp will do it, then that's what I'll use. I'm a married family guy with 4 kids, so I make due. I have one ear toward sound quality and one ear toward SPL, but I end up landing in the average lane. That's fine by me. I'm in awe of yiur systems and quality and power! More than that, I appreciate the knowledge sharing. Keep it up!! I picked up a 2000 Montero Sport this week, and the stock system is so aweful. Time to upgrade a little. CHAD [/QUOTE]
