What I find quite astonishing is the contrast between these two 15 year olds on this thread.
I mean here^ you have one guy that "did his homework", apparently reasearched enough and has a well defined plan. What's funny is this guy mentioned actually doing real homework as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I guess it's not the 15 year olds with "systems" that give car audio a bad name, it's just the ones that don't really think about it beyond "I need bass" lol.
On the other hand we have the other guy that seems to have nothing more than an ill-defined plan, pretty much jumping from one product to the next as each person recommends something different, not really knowing what they really want at all. Thinks factory speakers are fine and "just wants bass" apparently nullifying the need to do something like get a proper front stage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I dunno about you guys but I find this rather amusing.
Blove1991 is perhaps the guy that many local shops hate because he's thought everything through, knows what he's doing and is going to end up with something that is likely going to sound pretty darn good for the money he spends. The other guy is the type of person local shops love. Kid comes in and they just tell him whatever and he nods and listens. Tell him stuff like the brands they sell are the shiznit and other brands he mentions "****", etc. Then give him some way inflated price on lacklustre gear and he pays it and ends up with something that sounds pretty bad and pays tons of money for it with the guy at the shop laughing all the way to the bank.
I understand the OP is trying but I wonder if he's really trying hard enough. He doesn't sound like the guy that's actually doing real homework, nevermind the apparent lack of homework on a "system" he's trying to build.
It's fine to ask questions and listen to what people have to say and try to gain some knowledge on the subject; but it's another thing to ask questions and refuse to listen to the answers if they aren't what you want to hear. What's funny is just reading back through the thread it seems someone (XsabesX) already said the same thing...
That said, I do hope that he ends up with decent gear that sounds good and he's happy with.
