OT: Your regrets

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

What's your biggest Car Audio regret? Something you look back to and think "god, that was stupid".

Hands down, mine was dropping $2200+ on an amp, sub, box, h/u. I was pretty nieve then and just wanted "the best". The guy didn't have to sell me because I was already well-informed of what I was getting. Though I bought high-end equipment, patience and negotiating would've probably saved me at least $500, maybe $1000. My fiance wrote the check and I paid her back in 2 months...but I felt horrible for ever borrowing that from her. I think back to it now and realize how lucky I am to have a woman that will loan me $2200 on stereo equipment for my car, but also realize how stupid I was to pay that much for it.

Your turn.

Spending more than what I should have. Now, I would be willing to sacrifice a little bit of SQ for a lot more $$.

Goes with the territory I guess,

never bought their subs atleast, just got a blown one for free. Easy as hell to tear down.

I can't really say I have any regrets that eat away at me when in comes to car audio. I have more important things to do with my life than worry about an amp I sold.

Starting with cheap equipment and not buying everything authorized.

I don't have any regrets that "eat away at me". Just things that when you think about it you would do differently. Like pay too much for an amp, etc.

(not directed at you, jim)

I hate hearing the tired "live with no regrets". That's the most b.s. statement ever.

I guess just buying cheap shit early on.
