how old are you and your audio obsession???

[SuperTrooper 10+ year member]

38 years young. Started playing guitar when I was 13 was in my first rock and roll band by 16. Thats what got me into liking my music load and sounding good. My first car stereo was a Kraco HU with a Pioneer equilizer/power booster with some Cerwin Vega home stereo speakers that we would set on top of my old monte carlo and crank up the music at Surfside Beach while we played horse shoes, drank cold beer and checked out the ladies. Man I miss them days.

Gads... Well you know I am old when I have to stop and think to answer this question... (You also know I am old when I use terms like "Gads"...)

I am about to turn 39. First got into audio in the late 80's when I got my first CD player. My first (and only) install was a tape deck into an '85 Fiero when the stock one took a dump and I couldn't afford to have it done professionally.

Since then as my income grew, so did my systems, to the point where I was too afraid to tackle the stuff on my own.

THIS time will be different though. Though I am having the system installed initially, it is my plan to start with a simple speaker swap when I can buy the comps I want (within the next year or so). After that, I plan to add some mid-bass and an amp. Who know where that will lead...

Eventually I hope to learn car audio how I learned computers... Started by adding a sound card, now I build my own. I am a little late for the game, I know, but better late than never. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
