[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8386299, member: 660781"] I didn't tell you to f off. A lot people on here, including myself, have had their share of trial and error. The error was lack of diligence - no research, poor installation, bad equipment. I don't suggest stuff that's out of someone's budget, that's why we ask for it. If someone wants to get "loud" for $100 - sorry, that's not happening. If someone has a stated goal, we run with that. If they don't have the budget to match, they need to either expand their budget or tone down their expectations. Point being here, there are so many options to buy decent quality equipment that flea market doesn't need to be an option. If it were, there's no need to come to the forum - what advice can we give them? "Yes, buy the 5kw max dual sub with neon lights for $40." There are budgets that simply have no room to work with and those people should really get their priorities straight. Car audio isn't going to feed anyone. As a matter of fact, I'm helping a friend pick out some stuff as we speak. He just wanted some bass for his girl. We are not touching factory anything. Though believe me, I can go on for hours telling him to get this amp, those speakers, these subs, this HU, etc. Coming to this forum, there's a presumption that someone wants to do something right. I'd never feel good giving someone advice that would simply have them throw away their money. I'm glad you've had good experiences with pyle speakers running off HUs, but if people really want to buy that, they can do that on their own - no advice is needed on anyone's part. [/QUOTE]
