How much have you spent on car audio so far?

More than you can afford pal!

Had too, lol!

Anyway, I have spent enough to send me to court to file for bankruptcy. A lot was the car itself, but a close 2nd was the audio gear.

Overall, it would take me a day to figure it out.

$10k on install? Time to learn to do it yourself...

Believe me I can install but once you get to this caliber my skills fade out quickly. Patience is a virtue and at the point my car is in my patience isnt that strong. considering my car was a feature car in CA&E this year and the new install whoops up on it, the install is WELL worth it. Took 7 months btw. Come listen then tell me what you think. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Hmm

for my current setup about 700 bucks so far. My two others were cheap and I winded up selling them for basicaly what I paid.

So id say 800 total

I still need some comps though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Half the fun of car audio is doing it yourself imo

Let's see.

Sub - $280

Sub amp - $350

HU - $225

Front stage - $150

Front stage amp - $225

Wiring - $175

Misc accessories - $85

So about $1500 for the current install in my truck. First real quality install.

It's still not all in. Got front stage speakers and JL 300/4 left to install.

I would think it would be even cooler to say you did it yourself at that level.
