[QUOTE="jockhater2, post: 8350135, member: 636023"] Dude WAY TOO MUCH TIME. I spent 19-23 hours just sound dampening the engine bay. And don't get me started on how long it took to do that Dual alternator set up. I had to stop. The car was my first car and was in wisconsin it's whole life. So the underside of the car was pretty rough. I was SO SICK of all the little problems it kept having. From the starter, to the fuel injectors firing while the car was off, and to the power steering rack leak. I was done sticking money into it. And it was driving me insane all the time I was investing while I already had my hands full with A LOT going on. I was sick of watching everyone around me having fun and enjoying life while I was stuck with "all work and no play". It started really affecting every area of my life. Even my friends and brothers were getting too busy to help and sick of helping with it. A lesson was learned. You gotta know when to call it quits and throw in the towel before its too late. It s[B]u[/B]cks. I have the kind of personality that I won't do something unless I am going to do it the right way. Which in the audio case means A LOT OF TIME and WORK. The bimmer I will never put audio in. The point of that car is to remain light, sporty and tear up corners. Can't do audio on the bike. And won't do audio in the truck as I need the space for tools and stuff. I still have a pair of the copper bars, both alternators, the subs and 1 amp I got as a trade for sale. God blessed me with a really good deal on my RD7500.1. My friend and I drove his Dmax to Tennessee and I traded the RD for a 96 F150 and 2 Planet Audio BB4000.1s. Then towed it home and sold that F150 for $2000. So that helped make up for a lot of lost money. But I am not worried about the money. I am just glad that I am feeling better. [/QUOTE]
