How much is your system worth?

concrete ....u seriously have to be kidding me

Yes, its a daily driver. No, Im not kidding. *taps on fender*

We use spray-on sound deadener that sets up much like on concrete, on our vehicles, pratically every day. Yet if I say I stucco my cars/trucks with concrete (my own concoction that sticks and stays stuck) people freak out. This will be my third daily driver that's had concrete in it. *shrug*

I dont **** around when it comes to sound deadening. lmao

Can you approximate how much weight you add to your daily drivers that use your concoction audioholic?

wow. that is such an insightful post.. im sure 90% of those on here did not no that!!!(/sarcasm) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

lawl, then why don't we just say "how much does your system retail for" so it all seems like we overpaid.

I'm just bored and kind of curious as to how much you guys have spent on your current system setup. I'm seriously considering overhauling my audio system entirely by the end of the summer and just wondering how much I should be expecting to save for a mid/high end system.. (I'm thinking $1,500, hopefully much less..)
With the sub/amp + HU I have in my sig, I've already dropped about $800. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I'm thinking about selling the DVD player and getting a real HU with some EQ control.. Watching music videos in the car is cool and all but it's no good when the song sounds like ***..

EDIT - If it's not in your sig, please post what equipment you're running.

Are you talking about what we paid for the equipment? Or do you want to know what it would be worth if we paid MSRP for the equipment. Quite frankly that would be HUGE difference in my system.

My system = ~ $70 I have paid. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Pair of Hypnotic Components

P5002 Amp (Free)

RE Audio SR 15" (Free, traded a sub I got from my sister)

or 2 12" Hifonics HF12D4's (I have won a few bets with neighborhood kids trying to guess what I had, so they paid for themselves.)

Wiring Kit (Free)

Headunit (Cheap P.O.S. Dual headunit, that I'm using 'cause my 7700 fried. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif )

Depends on the vehicle. My old Cavalier I used concrete on the doors and rear quarters/trunk. My S-10 blazer has cocnretye in the doors and tailgate. My dodge is going to have it in the doors (quad cab). Id guess maybe 70lbs added on average.

mines worth about £300 UK Sterling...which works out to about $610

Well my buddy just bought a system from me

for his Jeep.. $580 vs. $1400-something retail?

Eclipse CD8053 (NIB, kicking myself..)
Profile AP 4-channel (SQ nbd to him)
6.5" Infinity Ref' comp set (front)
6.5" mids from a second set (rear)
and a pair of Diamond CM3 8's,
into an old box in his garage he cleaned up
But my toys have broken $2000, and they're still collecting dust:

(maybe not.. exactly.. a system... with not being hooked up & all.)

Got an Iraggi alt, $220
..buncha wire, 100~ish
2) NEXT amps & 1) o/s PPI, 420
Seas mids + Vifa tweets, 200
2) Ov2's, planned for IB, ~300?
carpet to replace vinyl floor, 120
RAAMmat/ensolite, 200
SS Spectrum, $240 (only thing installed..)
In the dash, a 6-disc Ford mp3 player + Fosgate 360.2... $540 together

Would my source probably end up being the weakest link?

Thoughts appreciated.. anything, laugh at my expense.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif
