[QUOTE="T.I.K., post: 7587631, member: 626887"] How is it not arrogant? You're basically saying that if our equipment doesn't meet up with whatever imaginary standard you've set, we're not enthusiasts. How is it not asinine? Some of us are college students, I, myself have a very narrow band of time in which I make money, and I buy what I can afford and still pay bills. I don't want to wait 6 extra months to buy gear when I can have a decent system now, and slowly upgrade it over time. By definition, anyone who's taken the time to learn about car audio and become relatively well-versed in the subject is an enthusiast; they are not defined by the kind of equipment they run. So again I say, what you said is arrogant and asinine. Again, what if their needs are simply to have decent sounding bass at a reasonable cost? Let's take Jesse's case for example. Jesse has no means of steady income, so he has a set price bracket in which he can operate. To say he is not an enthusiast simply because he can't spend as much money as you is extremely tacky. Also about they aids and cancer, I wasn't saying I was experiencing that, you just made your life story sound so difficult. I'm glad you overcame such adversity to install a sound system in your car.
