Wassup fellow Texan I'm in west texas (near midland). I have been doing car audio for 17-18 yrs and would be more than happy to help in any way I can. What kind of setup are you wanting to do? What type of music do you listen to? what make/model car/truck do you drive, and are you wanting a spl oriented or sound quality oriented stereo (or like most of us the best of both worlds lol)? And lastly but probably most importantly what kind of budget do you have in mind?
Feel free to pm me with questions (always down to help a fellow bass head especially a fellow resident of the best state in the country hehe!!!) No offense to all you none Texans lol.
I have plenty of stuff laying around to help get ya goin cheap.
