Most I've spent in a week was probably $300-400...I've got more important things to spend my money on. Sorry :/

I don't miss any of the money at all, and hope that during my lifetime my money can go towards more meaningful pursuits than accruing interest at a federally set rate in a savings account...

I like your outlook, wish I could be more like that. Sometime saving is an obsession for me. But i like to spend my money and enjoy what I spend it on, ex.car stereo... but I dropped about $4,000 on my system 4 years ago, and will easily drop $5,000 on my new one. It will probably be in one day too cause I like to get everything at once, hehe

I have spent so much in the past week on car audio...this is an evil ( but fun ) addiction. Someone make me stop...so far I have bought: 2 new 15's, a new Autotek ss1900.1, a 300 amp alternator from EA, I had a python 460HP alarm installed yesterday, and an enclosure from Vitveet. ( Going to his house Wednesday to put it all in. ) I also payed my car payment and insurance last week...someone make me stop before it's too late //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
Whats the most any of you guys have spent on audio in a week before? Mine isn't anything crazy but it's a lot to me, I'm not rich lol.

What'd you pay for the Autotek? I know I undersold mine

Who wants to buy my ID OEMs?
Lol, I think everyone here has spent several thousand on this stuff. Dumb investment, but it's fun

I wouldn't call it dumb, I've definately spent thousands in my lifetime on this, but as long as you're having fun why not? I mean you could be doing way worse things with your money right?

[pjvoc 10+ year member]

id say car audio is way more addictive, let alone expensive than any other bad habit

 

[Joseph M 10+ year member]

lol wasn't such a bad week, I got a 500 dollar pay check, and bought a speaker amp, speakers, a new battery, 20 ft of 0 gauge, MDF and spent 7 hours in a shop making a box, was about 700 dollars...
I don't miss any of the money at all, and hope that during my lifetime my money can go towards more meaningful pursuits than accruing interest at a federally set rate in a savings account...

7 hours making a box? wtf are you building?
