[QUOTE="sepp, post: 8697874, member: 679089"] I'm back with car audio after more than 10 years hiatus. It's funny, I read the first page and recognize the verbiage right away. I wrote that stuff 18 years ago on Termpro!! lol 😝 [URL unfurl="true"]https://web.archive.org/web/20050514213038/http://audioforum.termpro.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/ubb/get_topic/f/15/t/000677.html[/URL] Man, what a time capsule. That was my 22 year old self in 2002 giving advice like they're candies. I thought I knew the world, but I was young and stupid. I'm 40 now and looking back, my mindset has changed a lot. For the most part, the core advice is the same... be vigilant, trust your instincts, and practice awareness. But if I were to revise my original advice? I'd say, upgrade your system but keep the stock panels. Keep everything hidden like it's stock. It's 2020, we have technology now that didn't exist in 2000's. Smaller amps with built-in DSP's, stock HU's that sound just as good as aftermarket, etc. There's no need for extra equipment to sound great. You can run hi end stuff and still look stock. Looking forward to posting here more often! [/QUOTE]
