Since i started about 8 years ago.. I've changed my system consistently a few times a year with some of the highest end equipment thats on the market..

I'd estimate around 50-75,000

Wish i hada bought a nice benz with that lol

All said..ever..3 systems $500 total. Until I came here and learned better I always bought cheap @ss shiit from yard sales and flea markets. The build I am working on getting together now will prolly run me about $1200 or a little more if I can't use my non car audio to trade for parts.

YOU sir... are a hoarder. Haha, it doesn't make any sense to me. I'd only have it if I could use, or plan to use it soon, or have an equipment rotation for my vehicles... or have SOME sort of use for it.

I thank you sir //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/phatyo.gif.0c0e21b4fcf7bc51bc9a8375a5ca4d49.gif I prob rotate an amp or two twice a year just to keep busy or when I just get boredatrioti:

21 years of car audio...hmmmm. I would estimate around $60K - $70K. I have a lot of "old school" equipment I have in my colleciton (nostalgia) It would be more, but I have always done my own installs and I seem to be lucky enough to find deals (AQ 3500D for a few hundred dollars, $500 dollar subs for $100, etc)...

I've spent more in equipment that I've never used than I have in my whole current build.

Thanks man! I've actually been building a system with a buddy in his car and I watch Craigslist constantly. I found and older guy who purchased a car with all this in it and he didn't want it or know what it was so he listed it for $250. I jumped on it quick!! It came in a sealed box so I wanna build a nice ported enclosure and I thing she will sound even better!
