how much is your vehicles car audio worth

[ighettoboyi 10+ year member]

only cuz i'm bored:

retail:

330 for HU

500 for Speakers

520 for Amps

400 for Subs

30 for Box

70 for Wiring

150 for Caps

so that's $2k

i paid

240 for HU

200 for Speakers

350 for Amps

190 for Subs

60 for Box

60 for Wiring

90 for Caps (which aren't even installed anymore)

so that's a little under $1200

retail does ****. oh i forgot fatmat but who gives a ****

my sh!t sounds so much better and louder than most of my friends who go to the local ripoff for a bunch of kicker comps in a sealed box and performance teknique amps lol and they pay MORE. i'm willing to spend more of course, savin up for new amp, probably new subs, a better 2ch amp, always upgrading. possibly an alt.

Well I don't have one right now, but this is what I'm thinking of getting....

(These are the retail prices, but hell who pays retail anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif....)

2 12" xxx--------------------------------800 (less maybe pending group buy)

2 Kicker kx1200.1----------------------about 2000

Comp speakers unsure---------------about 600-1000

2 Ch amp depending on comps-----about 300-400

Eclipse 8443 HU------------------------600

Wiring Etc--------------------------------100

Grand total (retail)-----At least 4400$$ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Not even including things like a new alt or even battery, which I'm sure I'll be needing with those XXX's and kickers.....

Of course on ebay it'll probably be more around the neighborhood of 2800, but my friend also sells stereo systems, so hell I'm probably looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of about 2200 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif
