OT: How long does it take you to make a buying decision?

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

I sit for weeks sometimes staring at stuff online trying to pick out the perfect speakers/amp/etc. I've spent over 2 weeks now trying to find a good 4-channel amp. I ALMOST bought one last night...decided to go running first and buy it when I come back....it was gone in 8 minutes. A US Amps xt-1600.4 for $170 shipped! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif Why am I always so reluctant to buy these things? It's aggravating. lol.

on car audio? If I have the money? lolz maybe 2 days. on stuff under 30 bucks? usually no time @ all, which adds up and hurts my finances. I wish I was like you.

If I could find a medium there I'd be great. I'm not compulsive, but I definately hold out too long. I'm always under this presumption that I can do better. However, if I'm in the store and it's a killer deal, I'll get it right then. Just something about the internet makes me put things off.

usually takes me 1-2 months to decide/plan what i want. Unless its something with a time limit like an Ebay Auction.

Generally speaking I like to lay it all out first....you know, what kind of wattage i want in my mids, how much for the subs...then start finding comps and amps to match that...then I start with the shopping....still, doesn't mean I haven't succumbed to plenty of impulse buys from time to time! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Depends...I usually have a lot more dreams of stuff than money to pay for it, so I'm researching stuff months before I end up buying it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Truth.

I did that with the Zed Draconia. I then realized that I don't really need anything THAT nice.

My problem is that I look at so many things I get confused. I'll make a decision, get ready to buy, do research on it a little more, find something else while researching, and continue the process. I had to make a separate Bookmarks folder titled "4-channel amps" just to keep my stuff together.
