[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6222542, member: 611275"] I hear it everyday, man. They always think a huge sub in a prefab box is all they'll need. That's why I use 30 - 40% of their budget on a sub. It seems as if the budget is ALWAYS $1,000 too. I have 3 or 4 different $1,000 "systems" that I keep in mind, and I spit them out depending on how big they want their sub and or subs to be. Most of these people are new to the hobby, and they don't know a thing. They usually have a friend with a pair of Alpines or Xplode's, and they're impressed with the bass. They don't know a thing about comps or amping replacement speakers either. They think a pair of Pioneer coaxials powered by their cd player will sound absolutely fantastic, and sometimes they flat out refuse to accept otherwise. I always talk them into buying a pair of comps, a 2 channel and some coaxials for rear fill, and the results are always the same. They love having loud, clear vocals along with their bass, and they leave thinking they have something special. I've done dozens of $1,000 "systems" for people, and they're always pleased with the results. cliffs: Noobs always have a $1,000 budget, and they want to spend it all on subwoofers. I always tell them to spend less on the sub so other upgrades can be accomodated They've never actually heard a decent stereo, so they're impressed when they hear the vocals too. [/QUOTE]
